What's happening

This bill directs the Department of Labor to study and report on how driverless vehicles could impact jobs and employment in New York.

Why it matters

  1. The study will specifically examine how driverless (autonomous) vehicles could affect jobs in transportation and delivery services, sectors that employ large numbers of New Yorkers.

  2. It requires an assessment of not just potential job losses, but also any broader economic or workforce impacts that might result from the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology.

  3. The report could influence future state policies on workforce development, retraining, and regulation by providing lawmakers with concrete data and analysis about who may be most affected and how.

  4. By setting a short deadline for completion, the bill aims to provide timely information to decision-makers as autonomous vehicle technology advances and approaches real-world deployment.
