  California once led the nation in autonomous vehicle (AV) innovation. It was among the first states to test and deploy robotaxis, unlocking a new transportation option that’s safer, greener, and more accessible. In a state with some of the deadliest roads in the country, California was wise to embrace AVs, which, in study after study, consistently outperform human drivers on safety.
