What happened
St. Paul City Council adopted a resolution directing the city’s planning commission to study autonomous vehicles and suggest guardrails concerning safety, data-sharing, and worker protections. Meanwhile, the Minneapolis City Council voted for an ordinance requiring human safety monitors in driverless rideshare vehicles, which Mayor Jacob Frey vetoed. The Minneapolis ordinance is currently up for an override vote.
