Assembly SAN FRANCISCO, March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Area Teamsters declared an end to an exploratory alliance with Cruise AV, a San Francisco-based tech company that opposed vehicle safety legislation during a contentious committee hearing on Assembly Bill 316 (AB 316). The proposed legislation, sponsored by the Teamsters, would require human operators to be present in autonomous vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds.
Key Points:
- The bill has widespread, bipartisan support from Californians worried about highway safety, but Cruise AV opposed the legislation during the hearing on March 13 in Sacramento.
- "We find it incredible that a prominent player in the autonomous vehicle sector would publicly oppose traffic and highway safety," said Tony Delorio, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 665.
- Cruise AV courted a relationship with the Teamsters to expand its fleet and gain acceptance from elected officials and the public.
- The Teamsters said the testimony at Monday's hearing runs counter to statements made to the union by Cruise AV in recent weeks.
