Minneapolis议会推翻市长否决失败 无人驾驶出租车安全员条例不生效
位于明尼苏达州亨内平县的Minneapolis市，明尼苏达州Minneapolis市议会10月15日投票，未能推翻市长雅各布·弗雷对无人驾驶网约车监管条例的否决，这部要求自动驾驶出租车必须配备真人安全员的条例就此无法生效。
推翻否决需要市议会13名议员中的9票支持，当天只有7名议员投下赞成票。市议会曾于10月1日以7比6通过该条例，内容包括要求在自动驾驶网约车内配置真人安全监护员，支持者称此举旨在保护全州约1万名网约车司机的工作岗位。弗雷否决时称，该条例实质上是对Waymo等企业变相的禁令，并主张以更审慎的方式监管安全。
条例支持者、议员罗宾·旺斯利在投票后表示，支持者们将继续推动对大型科技公司的监管，以保护本地社区与劳动者。Waymo自去年冬季起在Minneapolis进行测试，车内有驾驶员在场，但尚未开始载客服务。与此同时，隔河相望的圣保罗市议会本周通过决议，要求该市规划委员会研究自动驾驶汽车议题，就安全、数据共享与劳动者保护提出可能的监管建议。
Minneapolis Council Fails to Override Mayor's Veto of Robotaxi Safety-Monitor Rules
Minneapolis is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The Minneapolis City Council on Oct. 15 failed to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of an ordinance regulating autonomous rideshare vehicles, leaving the mayor's veto in place and the proposed rules dead. Supporters needed nine of the council's 13 votes to override but mustered only seven. The ordinance, which the council passed 7-6 on Oct. 1, would have required human safety monitors inside autonomous rideshare vehicles. Supporters said the rules were needed to protect the state's roughly 10,000 rideshare drivers. Frey had called the measure a back-door ban on companies such as Waymo and called for thoughtful regulation focused on safety. Council Member Robin Wonsley, a backer of the ordinance, said supporters will continue working to regulate robotaxis. Waymo has been test-driving in Minneapolis since last winter with people behind the wheel, but has not yet begun carrying customers. Across the river, the St. Paul City Council this week adopted a resolution directing its planning commission to study autonomous vehicles and suggest guardrails on safety, data-sharing and worker protections.
