Opinion: Get Waymos off our streets
After a successful 5 years of operation in Arizona, self-driving Waymos have returned to New York, where they collected weather data in 2021.
Despite the initial excitement, New York State and Governor Kathy Hochul must resist the deployment of Waymo's autonomous cars, as they threaten jobs, degrade the unique culture of the cab system, and are ill-suited to handle the city's unpredictable pedestrian and street life.
- New York City's 130,000 taxi and for-hire drivers face potential career loss if robotaxis are introduced.
- In 2015, Uber and Lyft's expansion to New York led to a 5.2 to 1 ratio of rideshare apps to cabs.
Get Waymos off our streets to preserve the city's culture and protect its drivers.
Author's summary: Waymos threaten NYC jobs and culture.
