flag Portland evaluates allowing Waymo's driverless taxis.

flag Portland is among several U.S. cities evaluating whether to allow Waymo's driverless taxis, though no decision has been made. flag Waymo operates about 2,500 autonomous vehicles in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix, but widespread adoption faces hurdles including unclear laws, liability concerns, and public hesitation. flag While private use of self-driving cars is permitted in about half the country, public transit rules still require human operators in places like New York and Washington D.C. Portland currently lacks specific ordinances governing these vehicles, leaving its stance uncertain.
