What regulations were placed on the robotaxi pilot?

What are opponents saying?

• Risk to California’s reputation as the “world leader in driverless technology”
• Waymo needs “commercial path forward” to mimic its pilot eject in Phoenix
• Zoox can’t deploy in California if they don’t know a fare structure
• AutoX “”It’s very important we’re able to charge for our service not just for us but for the entire industry in California,”
