Autonomous vehicles

JLG: “Let’s get this right and not rush Waymo legislation this year.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Ward 4 Councilmember and the presumptive next Mayor Janeese Lewis George wrote yesterday on her X:

“DC is facing a jobs crisis.

Rushing the legalization of autonomous vehicles is irresponsible given the anticipated AI-related job displacement and disruptions that put countless workers at risk.

DC must be a leader in welcoming new technology while supporting workers and prioritizing safety.

Let’s get this right and not rush Waymo legislation this year.”

Stay tuned…

Anna shares the photo above, shudder, she sent to JLG from Petworth: “the neighbors have called 311 on a weekly basis, none of that is captured in the “tracker,” nothing has been done and they keep getting bigger and bigger.” (more…)
