Seriously though, can anyone explain to me why Democrats don't try to stop the growth of autonomous vehicles? It's bad policy and terrible politics. Tech oligarchs out here trying to run us over with death machines and put forces out of work and no political has a freaking thing to say about it.

In the past I'd say they don't want to alienate big tech and be seen as anti-future and that may still be the case to some degree but seems less of a risk now. If/when more stories of self driving cars running people down come out we'll probably see more active resistance.
not disagreeing with you; but i have not heard 1 person mention this as an issue(and i am currently helping Josh Weil in Florida); it is not an issue atm
In recent years, former District 2 Supervisor in San Francisco, Aaron Peskin, was working with the Board of Supervisors to regulate disruptive technology companies so they would follow public safety procedures accordingly. No outright bans though.
As far as autonomous vehicles are concerned, they are not very popular right now and are going to take a LONG time before the average consumer is going to consider them. Waymo may be influential in San Francisco but it also creates major liabilities for first responders and the issues are not being corrected by Waymo so they don't happen again.
