There's been a number of cases over the past several months since the start of the year that I think have coalesced to draw attention to the way that robo-taxis conduct themselves on the road.
I think any one of these incidents would be an eyebrow-raising moment.
I think there's been enough of these cases now where people are concerned.
Everybody is asking how ready these vehicles are to navigate the roads alongside human drivers.
Increasingly, we're seeing local regulators, taxi unions, residence associations, lawyers get involved in some of these disputes.
And it does have an impact on the ability of these vehicles to go onto our streets.
For example,
In the state of New York, Governor Hochul there had been considering allowing commercial robo-taxi services to start this year when they pass a new budget.
But she backtracked, specifically because there was a lack of legislative support for the measure.
So public relations between these robo-taxi companies, between taxi unions, between city councilors and state officials, it does matter.
