Texans Demand Safety in Self-Driving Cars
Description
Texans are enthusiastically embracing self-driving cars but demand strict accountability—80-83% want crash reporting mandates, 72-79% support automatic fines for tech failures, and most believe manufacturers must shoulder responsibility when accidents occur. Public backlash is especially fierce against Tesla’s Robotaxi, with 73% in Austin opposing it outright, while Dallas and Houston follow with 60% and 65% respectively. Despite Texas’s existing laws requiring DMV approval and self-certification for AVs, safety concerns persist—especially after reports of Waymo vehicles ignoring stop signs. As autonomous tech rolls into major cities, Texans are making it clear: safety and responsibility aren’t optional—they’re essential.
