5 days agoFree buses in New York? Even Mamdani isn't holding his breath.
The mayor is committed to making buses fast and free, but a pilot program is delayed until 2026.
The new law, if passed, would loosen the state's restrictions on self-driving car companies by forming a pilot program that would allow for "the limited deployment of commercial for-hire autonomous passenger vehicles outside New York City." Applicants to the pilot program would need to demonstrate that they have "local support for [autonomous vehicle] deployment" and prove their "adherence to the highest possible safety standards" to be considered.
