The protest comes in the lead-up to a hearing<\/a> that will likely see Waymo and Cruise expand their robotaxi services in San Francisco.<\/p>\n The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is set to approve the expansion of both Cruise\u2019s and Waymo\u2019s autonomous vehicle passenger service deployments in San Francisco on July 13. The agency doesn\u2019t give companies permission to operate their AVs on public roads \u2014 that\u2019s the Department of Motor Vehicles\u2019 domain. But it does grant companies the authority to charge passengers a fare for that service, which is an essential ingredient to scaling robotaxi and autonomous delivery operations sustainably.<\/p>\n
