The Day California Began Ticketing Autonomous Vehicles In March 2024, California issued its first traffic ticket to a Waymo robotaxi, a $12,400 fine for a parking violation, marking the start of direct enforcement against driverless cars. The state now allows police to send citations straight to the vehicle’s

FatPipe provides a dedicated, low-latency backbone that lets autonomous vehicles stay connected even when cellular networks falter. In crowded city streets, the system routes data over dual links, cutting dropouts and keeping safety-critical messages on time. The technology is becoming a quiet prerequisite for reliable robotaxi fleets. In a recent

On July 1, 2024, California’s DMV will let police issue tickets directly to driverless cars that break the law, meaning a Waymo robotaxi could receive a citation without a human behind the wheel. The policy aims to hold manufacturers accountable, but the reality of autonomous safety suggests a different

85% of power surges can shut down a smart home battery faster than it can recharge, so protecting that battery is critical. In my view, modern autonomous vehicles generally provide more active storm safeguards than most residential battery installations, though both need dedicated protection strategies.
