Driverless taxis can get traffic tickets in California but there’s a catch
By Daniel Farr

California lawmakers are cracking down on the use of driverless vehicles for traffic violations, with legislation allowing law enforcement to issue notices of noncompliance to driverless car manufacturers for moving violations. This comes as hundreds of citations have been issued for parking violations, including blocking traffic during pickups, stopping in restricted zones, and ignoring street-cleaning rules. The change will take effect later in 2026, leaving California behind places like Arizona and Texas where authorities already can issue tickets directly.
