Waymo: What happened when I used self-driving cars for a week.
SlateAs I went to shake Roger Bonnecaze’s hand after our interview, something strange happened. “They’re just safer than somebody reading text messages while they’re coming down.” Hancock said he hopes that the 2025 Texas legislative session doesn’t add much regulation to AVs in the state, though recent headlines of AVs causing traffic jams or people putting cones on the cars’ sensors have created backlash and might force the Legislature’s hand. She noted that the state’s lack of regulations has attracted companies, but said at this point it’s “irresponsible” not to have a “statewide standard” for AVs. “Texas state policy is kind of snowflake policy … we can’t quite look our traffic crash problem straight in the eye,” he said. “As soon as possible, I want as many human drivers or humans who don’t want to drive to be able to ride in vehicles where a human isn’t driving,” he said.
