San Francisco has formally requested state regulators redo an August hearing that expanded robotaxi permits for Cruise and Waymo .
The decision was met with much opposition as city agencies and residents questioned the far-reaching impact of the expansions.
The permits provide no limitations on geographic area, service hours or fleet size, something opponents say could lead to uncapped numbers.
The city attorney’s office requests that the CPUC not only adopt new reporting requirements for AV companies, but that those reports be made public without redactions.
Those reports should collect data on monthly drivered and driverless vehicle miles traveled by county, street intereference incidents, all crashes and high risk violations.
The request also asks that AV expansion is granted in an incremental, performance-based manner.
