This is the best summary I could come up with:


On Tuesday, the office of LA Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez said he will introduce a motion “urging officials in the state to address public safety concerns around autonomous vehicles and reign in the expansion of robotaxis in Los Angeles.”

The motion would have LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto join San Francisco’s existing robotaxi lawsuit against the California Public Utilities Commission.

Last week, LA Councilmember Traci Park introduced a motion calling for reports on the city’s ability to regulate autonomous vehicles.

Meanwhile, Teamsters just led its second rally in Santa Monica in as many weeks over “ongoing safety concerns with robotaxis.” The organizers said they timed the Tuesday event to coincide with Alphabet and Google’s latest earnings report.

Dozens of people gathered outside Google’s headquarters in Venice to draw the attention of elected officials, Teamsters Local 396 communications head Adan Alvarez told TechCrunch.

The Teamsters rep went on to cite Governor Gavin Newsom’s decision to veto a bill that would have mandated human drivers in trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds.
