Massachusetts Welcomes Self-Driving Cars--With a Couple Caveats
Before a self-driving Uber killed a pedestrian one night in March, Arizona was an autonomous vehicle developer's paradise. Governor Doug Ducey piloted a no-rules approach to regulation, trusting developers like Uber, Waymo, and General Motors would ensure the safety of their tech. After the deadly crash, Ducey--who proceeded to ban Uber's self-driving cars from public roads--wasn't the only public official who underwent an attitude adjustment. Boston city officials quietly asked companies to pause testing. Cars came off the roads in Pittsburgh and California.
