Portland Moves to Regulate Self-Driving Cars | Portland News
Description
Portland’s city council is moving fast to regulate self-driving cars before they’re fully operational, proposing caps on vehicle numbers and requiring 50,000 test miles before passenger pickups. Waymo’s human-driven tests began in April, and though a statewide bill failed last year, Portland aims to be the first city to set its own rules—especially as job impacts and accountability concerns grow, with one council member even calling for a ban. A formal ordinance is now in the works to guide the city’s future with robotaxis.
