NYU Cardozo Robotaxi Symposium

  • Thursday, May 28, 2026
  • 1:30–6:00 p.m.
    1. Furman Hall, Lester Pollack Colloquium Room

In the past year, interest in robotaxis in New York has surged. Last summer, Waymo started testing its vehicles on Manhattan streets. In January, Governor Hochul proposed automated vehicle pilot programs upstate. But in February, she withdrew her proposal under pressure. And in March, Waymo’s testing permit expired. The future of robotaxis in New York is an open question.
 
This Symposium will explore the legal and policy issues that robotaxis raise. Our goal is to enrich the public conversation by bringing together experts from around the country to share their knowledge and experience. There will be two panels: one on robotaxis and road safety and one on robotaxis and urban policy. Speakers from academia, government, industry, and nonprofits with a range of views will participate.
