CPUC Voting Meeting: Requests to Expand Driverless Car Operations On Agenda


  • CPUC Auditorium 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA, 94102 United States (map)

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) holds regularly scheduled public meetings where at least three of the five Commissioners (a quorum) meet to discuss and vote on proposed policies, rules, and other issues.

At this meeting, CPUC will consider a request from Cruise to expand its driverless car operations within the City, and from Waymo to begin sending out cars with no driver. Both proposals are, according to the CPUC's meeting agenda, “not anticipated to result in significant safety risks”. Indivisible SF does not have a position on this at this time, but if you do, you'll have an opportunity to give public comment at the meeting.

The CPUC welcomes public comment at its business meetings. The public comment rules outlined in Resolution ALJ-412, Adopting Rules For Public Comment At Business Meetings, enable Californians to exercise their right to be heard by the CPUC, and to allow the CPUC to conduct business in a timely manner. Pursuant to Resolution ALJ-412, the Public Advisor's Office is providing the following rules and guidelines that apply to public comment at the CPUC’s Voting Meetings.
