Local Teamsters unions and drivers have opposed the DMV’s regulatory exploration, saying the department is moving forward with an issue that legislators should decide on.
Assemblymembers Cecilia Aguiar-Curry and Laura Friedman introduced the bill a day before the DMV workshop, with Teamsters local unions saying it would protect lives and jobs.
“When this industry proves to me, my colleagues, and our constituents that human-less trucking, and driverless school buses, are safer than our model in California, they will have the support to proceed,” Aguiar-Curry said in a statement.
