California's DMV has issued two new sets of rules (100 pages total) governing autonomous vehicle testing and deployment. Key changes include a 'Notice of Autonomous Vehicle Noncompliance' mechanism allowing law enforcement to cite AV companies for traffic violations, with mandatory 72-hour reporting to the DMV. Annual disengagement reports are replaced by 'dynamic driving task performance relevant system failure' reporting. Heavy-duty autonomous vehicles are now permitted to test on public roads. Industry insiders describe the new data collection and sharing requirements as burdensome. Other mobility news includes China suspending new AV licenses after a Baidu Apollo Go outage, BMW i Ventures launching a $300M AI-focused fund, Rivian downsizing its DOE loan, and Uber expanding into hotel bookings.
