Musk's Driverless Cars Eye Miami, Spotted in NYC
12 Sep
Summary
- Elon Musk's autonomous vehicles are being eyed for Miami.
- Two-seater vehicles were seen in New York City with human drivers.
- New York's governor reversed a decision on autonomous vehicle deployment.
Elon Musk's vision for steering-wheel-less autonomous vehicles appears to be expanding, with Miami emerging as a potential next market. Recently, two gold two-seater vehicles, though equipped with steering wheels and operated by human safety monitors, were observed in New York City. This appearance is likely a promotional tactic, given that fully autonomous vehicles are currently banned in New York.
Governor Kathy Hochul previously overturned a decision that would have permitted Waymo to deploy its autonomous vehicles outside of New York City. This reversal followed significant pushback from various labor groups, highlighting ongoing challenges for autonomous vehicle technology in urban environments.
