Show Notes
Maryland lawmakers consider legalizing fully driverless cars, with Waymo testifying in support of Senate Bill nine zero nine. Waymos technology, using sensors for a 360-degree view and detecting objects up to three football fields away, has reduced injury-causing crashes by 78%. The bill would give the Motor Vehicle Administration authority over safety rules, liability, and emergency plans. Supporters argue for reduced human errors, while truck drivers and unions express concerns about job losses and safety risks. The proposal awaits committee decision, potentially placing Maryland among 26 states already open to autonomous vehicles.
