Texas ramps up oversight of self-driving cars with new rules now in full effect, requiring companies to get state authorization before operating — and facing 42 complaints so far. While the DMV can pull vehicles off the road for safety risks, no suspensions have occurred yet. A key focus: emergency response protocols — especially after a Waymo vehicle allegedly blocked an ambulance in Austin. Local officials are pushing for more control over autonomous vehicle policies, calling for tech upgrades like better emergency vehicle detection. New legislation could emerge as early as January 2027.
