D.C. eyes a major shift in transportation as a new bill could soon let fully driverless robotaxis roam the city, ending the requirement for human backup drivers. Backed by Councilmember Charles Allen, the proposal follows successful pilot programs from Waymo and Zoox and aims to create a commercial framework for autonomous rides. Supporters tout safety and accessibility benefits, especially for underserved communities, while also outlining protocols for emergencies and tech failures. But not everyone’s on board—rideshare unions warn of job losses and lower pay, citing San Francisco’s experience, and plan to protest before the council vote. The bill also introduces a mileage tax to promote efficiency, sparking a broader debate about the future of work and mobility in the District.
