LOS ANGELES — The city is moving to back a state crackdown on autonomous vehicle companies, adding to scrutiny that has already reached Santa Monica courtrooms and neighborhood streets. A resolution introduced at Los Angeles City Hall calls for the city to formally support Senate Bill 1246, a proposal by Sen. Dave Cortese that would impose new operating rules on autonomous vehicle companies in California. The resolution points to problems local officials say cities are already encountering — driverless cars blocking traffic, interfering with emergency responders, and gaps in how quickly companies can respond when something goes wrong. The resolution says autonomous vehicles are “rapidly expanding in number, geographic scope, and operating hours,” while cities across California have encountered rising public safety concerns. The resolution frames the issue as one of accountability — whether companies deploying fleets on public streets should be required to provide faster human response, clearer data, and a way for emergency crews to move vehicles when they fail. Under SB 1246, autonomous vehicle companies would face a series of new statewide requirements. Remote assistants, remote drivers, and local incident technicians would have to be based in the United States, hold valid California driver’s licenses, and be registered in the state’s Employer Pull Notice program. Companies would also be limited to one remote operator for every three autonomous passenger vehicles actively operating on California roads. The bill would require local incident technicians to arrive within 10 minutes of an accident or a request from a first responder. Those technicians would need the authority and physical ability to manually relocate a vehicle. First responders could request an on-site technician for collisions, immobilized vehicles, obstructions or other safety issues requiring someone physically present. The proposal also calls for every autonomous vehicle to be equipped with a manual override system
