CHICAGO -- As Illinois lawmakers consider legislation that could pave the way for driverless vehicles on Chicago streets, nationally recognized traffic safety attorney Amy Witherite says the state is moving in the right direction by taking a cautious, safety first approach.
“Illinois is taking the right approach on Waymo and other driverless vehicle technologies by slowing down and evaluating the facts. Public safety must come before rapid deployment,” said Witherite, founder of the Witherite Law Group. Witherite said Illinois can set a national example by insisting on accountability, transparency, and proven safety through controlled testing in closed course environments before wider deployment.
