Monday, April 6, 2026 Today’s SCOOP is brought to you by our members. Dear New Yorkers, Robot cars are no longer being put to the test on New York City streets. A pair of permits issued last year that allowed Waymo to test its autonomous vehicle technology in parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan expired March 31, a Department of Transportation spokesperson confirmed to THE CITY Friday. But it’s unclear what comes next in New York for the company’s so-called robotaxis that are already in use without drivers in 10 U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not yet articulated a position on the technology, whose testing was given the green light last August by his predecessor at City Hall, Eric Adams. A City Hall spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from THE CITY. Waymo, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, had been operating eight robot cars — with a “trained safety specialist” behind the wheel at all times — in Downtown Brooklyn and south of 112th Street in Manhattan since last year. Waymo did not report any collisions involving the eight autonomous vehicles, or AVs, in the city, according to NYC DOT. The company declined to share with THE CITY any findings from its months of testing, Read more here about the hurdles ahead for AVs in NYC. Weather 🌤️ Sunny, with a high near 55.
