Although local opposition initially delayed CPUC's ruling, Waymo is now set to expand its services to the San Francisco Peninsula and Los Angeles.
A bill granting more regulatory authority over self-driving car firms like Waymo was withdrawn by Senator Cortese amidst fears of being amended without local control.
Despite pending lawsuits and challenges, state government support is paving the way for Waymo's expansion, with reintroduction of the bill likely for greater local authority in the future.
The exact timeline for Waymo's expansion into LA and the Peninsula remains uncertain, but state government backing suggests progress in overcoming regulatory hurdles.
