A self-driving Tesla carrying a passenger for Uber rammed into an SUV at an intersection in suburban Las Vegas in April, an accident that sparked new concerns that a growing stable of self-styled “robotaxis” is exploiting a regulatory gray area in U.S. cities, putting lives at risk.

Proposition L is the initiative (formerly the Community Transit Act) and it would create a new tax on ride-hailing companies, such as Uber, Lyft, and Waymo, and use those funds to restore transit services across the city.

With the veto of California’s AI bill, the idea of regulating frontier models may be in jeopardy.
The bill, SB 1047, would have required developers of the largest AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, and the like) to set up and report on a safety framework, and submit to outside safety audits. The bill also included a whistleblower protection clause, and required developers to build a “kill switch
