San Francisco Mayor Wants Statewide Rules for Self-Driving Cars, Including Live Location Sharing

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie wrote to California's transportation agency on July 16, 2026, asking for statewide rules for self-driving cars. One proposal: companies must share live vehicle locations and problem reports with local officials — something no system currently does. The request follows Waymo robotaxis stuck during a December 2025 outage and July 4 Golden Gate Bridge fireworks.
