Self-Driving Cars: City Council Says No to Pilot Program

The Centre Party proposed Stockholm become a pilot city for self-driving cars with Waymo to gain direct experience, but the City Executive Office and Traffic Committee believe current international networking is sufficient. While Farsta and Södermalm district committees expressed current reservations, the Municipal Board majority rejected the proposal, agreeing that existing methods for monitoring developments are adequate. The Centre Party, however, stressed the need for Stockholm to be more proactive to avoid falling behind.
