Stockholm Self-Driving Car Test City Proposal

The Centre Party proposed that Stockholm explore becoming a test city for self-driving cars, in collaboration with Waymo, to study the technology's potential and risks regarding safety, climate benefits, and congestion. However, the City Executive Board, Traffic Committee, and several district committees are against this, citing that the city already monitors developments internationally and lacks Swedish legislation. They prefer to await further authority investigations before initiating new pilot projects, especially since a similar application from Tesla was recently rejected due to infrastructure strain and public safety concerns.
