Florida Drivers: Sign Now to Say No to Driverless Vehicles

Our state has become a testing ground for driverless vehicles, and companies like Waymo are planning a full commercial launch in cities like Miami and Orlando by 2026. These vehicles have already caused problems elsewhere: blocked emergency vehicles, dangerous mid-road stops, and crashes.

Add your name to demand an immediate halt to all autonomous vehicle testing in Florida and a full ban on autonomous vehicles doing business in Florida.

Halfway to Our Goal!

Say No to Driverless Vehicles in New York

New York City is one of the most complex and densely populated urban environments in the world. Every day, our streets are full of life—families walking to school, cyclists and delivery workers navigating traffic, seniors crossing intersections, and people with disabilities getting where they need to go. Driverless cars pose a threat to all of us on New York’s streets.

We are almost halfway to our signature go​​al. Please sign and share with your friends, family, and coworkers.

Add your name to demand an immediate halt to Waymo’s self-driving car testing in NYC and all autonomous vehicle testing in NYC, and a full ban on autonomous vehicles doing business in New York State.

New Jersey Drivers:

Stop Driverless Vehicles from Testing Here

Waymo’s driverless cars are already testing on the streets of Jersey City and Hoboken, and we’re running out of time to stop them. New Jersey is one of the most complex driving environments in the country. Driverless cars have no place on our streets. In cities like San Francisco and Phoenix, these vehicles have already blocked ambulances, caused accidents, and made chaotic stops in traffic.

Add your name to demand an immediate halt all autonomous vehicle testing in New Jersey and a full ban on autonomous vehicles doing business in our state.
