New York City announced a new permitting system for companies interested in testing autonomous vehicles on its roads, including a requirement that a human safety driver sit behind the steering wheel at all times.
June 2025 "We’ve applied for a permit to drive autonomously with a specialist behind the wheel while we’re in the city, and we’re also advocating for changes to state law that would allow us to bring our fully autonomous ride-hailing service to New Yorkers."
