Governor Hochul has recently dropped a proposal that would have allowed for
the expansion of commercial autonomous vehicle (AV) services, such as
robotaxis, across New York State. This decision primarily impacts companies
like Waymo, which had been seeking to expand its testing and operations
beyond New York City.
