DC Velocity reports truck motorist unions are pressing legislators to come up with more stringent “regulations over driverless vehicles, pointing to a spate of recent accidents involving semi-autonomous cars from Waymo, Tesla, and Uber.” The incidents have brought up questions concerning “the extent to which autonomous vehicles will truly increase equity, transportation access, and environmental outcomes, according to a May 18 statement from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO (TTD).” According to DC Velocity, “agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) distinguish between six different levels of self-driving vehicles.”
