California bill to have humans drivers ride in autonomous trucks is vetoed by governor

Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have required human drivers to be onboard self-driving trucks, a measure that union leaders and truck drivers said would save hundreds of thousands of jobs. The legislation vetoed Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, night would have banned self-driving trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms), vehicles from UPS delivery vans to massive big rigs, from operating on public roads unless a human driver is on board.
