Uber and Waymo Clash Over Washington Self-Driving Bill

Washington, D.C. has proposed a draft bill that would allow autonomous vehicles to operate on public roads—a move Uber views as a critical pilot for its self-driving taxi strategy. Recently, Uber has not only invested in and partnered with autonomous technology companies but also actively engaged in shaping related regulatory frameworks. This has led to a direct policy clash between Uber and its business partner, Waymo.
