Robotaxi Firms Withhold AV Remote Assistance Data

Several leading autonomous vehicle companies, including Aurora, May Mobility, Motional, Nuro, Tesla, Waymo, and Zoox, have declined to disclose the frequency with which their self-driving cars require remote human intervention. This information was requested as part of an investigation by Senator Ed Markey into the safety and operational reliability of robotaxi services. The lack of transparency raises concerns about the true level of autonomy and the reliance on remote operators to manage complex driving scenarios.
