Texas Tightens Rules on Self-Driving Cars

Texas just cracked down on self-driving cars with new law SB 2807, requiring official authorization and live cameras inside autonomous vehicles after a string of odd incidents—including a Waymo going the wrong way and another driving into floodwaters. The move aims to build public trust and set clear safety standards, echoing Senator Ted Cruz’s push for regulation while citing data showing these vehicles can reduce crashes. Texans can now file complaints directly with the DMV, and while Houston lacks public tracking, Austin’s dashboard shows just one collision this year—highlighting the need for statewide transparency as autonomous tech rolls out.
