Driverless cars have proven dangerous across American cities, causing traffic disruptions, blocking emergency responders, and resulting in accidents, injuries and deaths. These vehicles threaten the safety of families, cyclists, seniors and people with disabilities navigating urban streets from New York to Miami. Testing must stop immediately and autonomous vehicles should be banned from operating in the United States.
Robotaxis represent the most dramatic transportation revolution in over a century and will fundamentally improve urban life. These vehicles are involved in ten times fewer serious crashes than human drivers, offering unprecedented safety improvements. As costs drop and technology spreads to cities like Miami and Washington, autonomous vehicles will boost productivity, free up valuable urban space and create economic opportunities.
