A sharp, skeptical rundown of how federal regulators are easing the path for autonomous vehicles—highlighting a Zoox exemption from key occupant-protection standards, a thinly funded industry-led push for AV “performance standards,” and a Congress bill framed as safety but criticized as preempting state oversight.

Real-world robotaxi risks for blind minors and riders with mobility issues get spotlighted, plus more and recalls.
