Selfdriving taxi Service Waymo will start operating in la and austin, texas. Its the first time the Autonomous Car company is expanding its services outside of San Francisco. The cars have to remain off the freeway as they operate. The company also plans to be going to san mateo, but a county supervisor is asking for that to be put on hold. Abc seven News Reporter ryan curry live in the studio with the details of that request. Yeah, reggie good morning. Supervisor david canepa and the rest of the board have filed an appeal with the cpuc to delay waymo from hitting San Mateo County streets. He says waymos approval was rushed. The cpuc originally suspended this expansion in the beginning of february, because the board of supervisors asked for a review period that was supposed to last 120 days, but less than two weeks after that, the cpuc approved the expansion because waymo updated their passenger safety plan. Now waymo can have their cars operate in the peninsula and los angeles. Waymo has not announced when they will deploy the fleet in San Mateo County. Supervisor canepa is calling for more transparency. What were asking is for them to really consider what we had said in our initial letter, just this communication of working with public works on infrastructure, working with the fire department, working with the sheriffs department. There is a bill by south bay senator david cortez that would allow cities and counties to implement their own regulations around selfdriving cars, waymo said in a statement. We will continue to engage in cpuc process and remain committed to our long tum approach of dialog and partnership with city officials, waymo says there is not a set timetable for when they will start their expansion to the peninsula.
