Autonomous Trucks
Sacramento, CA — The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is applauding the advancement of legislation that would prohibit autonomous trucks from operating on California roadways without human drivers. Introduced in the California Assembly in January, A.B. 316 was unanimously approved by the Senate Transportation Committee on July 12. The bill has been referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee. 316 include the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, which argues that human drivers may not be safer than autonomous vehicles.
