As Tesla prepares to roll out robotaxis in Austin, safety concerns are gaining increased attention. According to attorney Amy Witherite, founder of Witherite Law Group, the lack of transparency and limited regulation surrounding autonomous vehicle deployment raises important questions about public safety.
