Attorney Amy Witherite Warns Autonomous Vehicle Companies “Are Out of Control” After Waymo Refuses to Curtail Operations Near Schoolchildren
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attorney Amy Witherite, a nationally recognized transportation-safety advocate, today issued an urgent warning that autonomous-vehicle (AV) companies are “out of control,” following Waymo’s reported refusal to curtail service in Austin even after video evidence showed its self-driving taxis repeatedly violating school-bus laws and placing children at risk. Waymo will file a voluntary software recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) but not take its vehicles off the road.
