California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would ban the operation of heavy-duty driverless trucks “without a human safety operator' present.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has gone against the wishes ofmembers by vetoing a bill that would ban the operation of heavy-duty driverless trucks in the state without a human present.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters said this week that "Teamsters, thousands of labor allies,and public safety officials rallied and marched to the State Capitol" on Tuesday to demand Newsom sign the bill into law. But Newsom on Friday ended up vetoing the bill, writing in a letter to lawmakers that it is "unnecessary for the regulation and oversight of heavy-duty autonomous vehicle technology in California, as existing law provides sufficient authority to create the appropriate regulatory framework."
"As part of its oversight and regulatory responsibilities, DMV consults with the California Highway Patrol, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and others with relevant expertise to determine the regulations necessary for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles on public roads," Newsom continued.
