In 2026, the California Department of Motor Vehicles rolled out regulations allowing commercial trucks to operate fully autonomously on public roads. However, one group contends that the California DMV failed to meet requirements before adopting the rules. Teamsters California is claiming the agency circumvented laws requiring the agency to study and publicly disclose the economic impacts of allowing driverless heavy-duty trucks on state roads. Today, Teamsters California, sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) saying the agency circumvented laws requiring the agency to study and publicly disclose the economic impacts of allowing self-driving trucks on California roads. “Teamsters California will keep fighting for public safety and good jobs on every front: in the courtroom, at the ballot box, and into the next administration,” said Victor Mineros, co-chair of Teamsters California.
