San Diego has approved a resolution calling for state oversight to be transferred to local authorities, specifically targeting Waymo’s autonomous ride-hailing service, which began operating in the city last month. The move reflects growing concerns over how self-driving vehicles are regulated and integrated into urban transportation systems. City officials argue that local control would allow for better alignment with community needs and safety standards. The resolution signals a potential shift in how autonomous technology is governed as adoption expands.
San Diego passed a resolution demanding the state give it control over how Waymo can operate after the driverless-ride hailing fleet launched in the city September 1.
