California's SB 1246 legislation advances to impose stricter accountability and emergency response requirements on autonomous vehicle companies, mandating US-based remote operators, improved communication with first responders, manual disablement capabilities, and penalties for AVs obstructing emergency services.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for direct accountability to emergency services if your AVs operate in California. First responders will demand on-site support and quick vehicle disablement, making your operational readiness critical this year.
