San Francisco Mayor Asks State for Autonomous Vehicle Standards, Real-Time Fleet Data

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie asked Caltrans on July 16, 2026, to set statewide standards for autonomous vehicles. One of four proposals: AV companies must share real-time fleet location and disruption data with local agencies — a capability no formal framework yet provides. The letter follows stranded Waymo robotaxis during a December 2025 outage and July 4 Golden Gate Bridge fireworks.
