Waymo resumes Boston testing, seeks legislative support for autonomous vehicles

Waymo is resuming testing of its autonomous vehicles in Boston, aiming for future deployment. The company is training its cars on complex city roads, but faces legislative and political hurdles. Two bills are advancing that could allow driverless operation, despite opposition from labor groups and city councilors. Waymo argues its vehicles are safer than human-driven ones, and disability advocates see potential benefits. The company currently operates in several other major US cities.
