NHTSA Admits Autonomous Vehicle Technology Not Ready

WAMU 88.5 DC Washington D.C. 15d12d Impact 5
DC lawmakers are holding off on fully legalizing autonomous rideshare services like Waymo in the district. The council is waiting on a city report before proceeding with the decision. Waymo has been testing self-driving cars in the district for several months. Lawmakers are expected to hold a hearing on the bill at a later date. Privacy experts expressed concerns regarding the volume of information recorded by vehicles. Even a system with 99% accuracy would generate millions of false positives annually, according to the report. The technology's readiness for a 2027 rollout remains uncertain.
