Tesla's highly anticipated robotaxi launch in Austin could experience significant delays as local lawmakers advocate for stricter compliance with forthcoming safety regulations. The proposed measures aim to ensure that the autonomous vehicles meet rigorous safety standards before hitting the roads.
Lawmakers have expressed concerns about the implications of deploying robotaxis without adequate oversight, emphasizing the need for comprehensive safety assessments. As the technology evolves, officials are keen to address potential risks associated with self-driving vehicles, including pedestrian safety and traffic management.
The push for regulatory compliance reflects a growing trend among states to implement guidelines for autonomous vehicle operations.
