DC Council fails to pass autonomous vehicle bill, stalling Waymo deployment
Scobleizer · x · 2026-11-13
The DC Council failed to pass its autonomous vehicle bill this year. Boosters including Paul Taske call it an embarrassment, arguing that AVs like Waymo reduce injuries and fatalities and that delaying deployment costs needless lives; they urge the Council to reconvene and reconsider. Critics note the irony that America leads the world in AV technology yet it can't be seen or used in the nation's capital.
