📰 News we're reading

• Self-driving cars could receive notices of traffic violations under new law in 2026 (localnewsmatters.org) — San Bruno drivers will soon see self-driving cars held more accountable under a new California law taking effect in 2026, prompted in part by a San Bruno police encounter with a Waymo vehicle. The law lets officers issue violation notices directly to autonomous vehicle companies and requires two-way communication so human operators can quickly respond to police or emergency geofencing orders.
