The city of Nashville has launched a new autonomous vehicle complaint portal on its hubNashville platform, allowing residents to report any issues or concerns they have with self-driving cars operating in the city. This comes after first responders have handled at least 30 incidents involving Waymo's autonomous vehicles since the company launched its fully driverless service in Nashville in March.
Why it matters
As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent on city streets, Nashville is taking a proactive approach to gather data and feedback from residents to help integrate the new technology safely and seamlessly. The complaint portal allows the city to track issues like traffic disruptions, parking problems, and alleged traffic violations involving self-driving cars.
The details
The new autonomous vehicle portal on hubNashville allows residents to report any observations or concerns they have about self-driving cars in the city. In the first month, the portal received at least 23 reports, including issues with parking, traffic blockages, and alleged traffic violations. The city's public affairs officer said there is no playbook for handling this new technology, so Nashville is adapting and improvising to figure out the best ways to respond.
