一项可能将无人驾驶网约车引入美国首都街头的新提案，在工会工人、司机和宗教领袖中引发了强烈抗议，他们担心这项技术会导致失业。
抗议者聚集在约翰·威尔逊大楼外，当时特区议会成员正在开会讨论一项法案，该法案将允许Waymo等自动驾驶汽车运营商在华盛顿特区提供商业网约车服务。抗议者敦促议会否决该法案，认为无人出租车的大量涌入会取代网约车司机的工作。
“我们今天强烈站出来，因为我们认为这些无人出租车会让人们失业，”一名抗议者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“人们需要工作。”

“我反对无人出租车，因为它会夺走社区的生计，夺走人们的工作，夺走他们养家糊口的饭票，”来自弗吉尼亚州的弗雷德里克说道。
他补充道：“人们需要工作才能养家糊口。”
“这简直是狗屁，”来自华盛顿特区的萨布丽娜说。“别让机器人抢走我邻居的工作。那些以此为生的人们，别夺走他们的工作。”
另一名抗议者承认自动驾驶汽车可能会减少部分驾驶岗位，但他认为该市应该“主动出击”，通过缩短工作周且不削减薪资，并在其他领域扩大就业。
“我们应该主动应对就业问题，”来自华盛顿特区的迈克尔说。“我们应该缩短工作周，同时不减少工资。这样我们就能在公共交通、医院和服务行业创造更多就业岗位。因此，虽然出租车司机可能会失去一些工作，但我们会创造出薪酬更高的岗位。”
由议员查尔斯·艾伦于5月提出的《2026年自动驾驶汽车部署授权修正案》，将在华盛顿特区建立一个由特区交通局管理的商业自动驾驶汽车项目。

Waymo称其最新的安全数据覆盖了超过2.7亿英里的自动驾驶里程，数据显示，与同一运营区域内的人类驾驶基准相比，其车辆涉及致人受伤的撞车事故的概率低82%，涉及重伤或更严重事故的概率低95%。
无人出租车的支持者还指出，由于没有人类司机，票价有望降低，但目前的对比发现，Waymo的价格差异很大，并不总是比优步和来福车等传统网约车服务便宜。
抗议者声称，虽然无人出租车刚推出时价格可能更低，但最终票价会飙升。
“这只是为了……吊起我们的胃口，让我们说‘是啊，哦，我们能享受到更便宜的车程’，”萨布丽娜说。“在试用期可能会便宜，然后突然之间我们就要付50美元了。所以不，我不相信这一点。这只是为了让人们使用Waymo的噱头。”
“在我看来价格都差不多，”来自马里兰州的海伦说。“其他城市也有这类车，价格似乎没多大差别。”

这项拟议的监管框架有望在2028年前将无人出租车引入该市，最初将运营商的车辆数量限制在200辆以内。申请商业许可证的公司必须证明其在特区内进行了至少180天、25万英里的自动驾驶测试，并提交旨在减少该市八个选区服务可用性和等待时间差距的计划。
该法案于7月举行了公开听证会，但尚未安排投票。自动驾驶汽车上路之前，该法案必须获得整个议会的批准。
“工人应该参与决策，”美国劳工联合会-产业工会联合会华盛顿大都会理事会主席塞缪尔·埃普斯在抗议活动中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们不应该仓促推进此事。”

“我认为这对城市不利，”埃迪说。“如果我的孩子要坐车，我更希望由人类来驾驶。”

Workers erupt over DC plan to bring robotaxis to city streets: ‘This is bulls—’

A new proposal that could bring driverless rideshare vehicles to the streets of the nation’s capital is causing an uproar among union workers, drivers and religious leaders who fear the technology could eliminate jobs.
Protesters gathered outside the John Wilson Building as D.C. council members met to discuss legislation that would allow Waymo and other autonomous vehicle operators to offer commercial rides in Washington, D.C. The protesters urged the council to reject the legislation, arguing that an influx of robotaxis would displace rideshare drivers.
“We came out here today strongly because we feel that these robotaxis will put people out of work,” one protester told Fox News Digital. “And people need jobs.”

“I’m against robotaxis because it takes away from the community, it takes away from their jobs, it takes away food from their table,” Frederick from Virginia said.
He continued, “People need jobs to be able to support their family.”
“It’s bulls – – -,” Sabrina from Washington, D.C., said. “Let’s not bring robots taking my neighbor’s jobs. My folks that drive for a living, let’s just not take their jobs.”
Another person at the protest acknowledged that autonomous vehicles could eliminate some driving jobs but argued the city should “take the offensive” by shortening the workweek without cutting pay and expanding employment elsewhere.
“We should take the offensive on job issues,” Michael from Washington, D.C., said. “We should shorten the workweek, without a loss in pay. So we’ll create more jobs in public transportation, in hospitals, in service industries. So we actually maybe will lose some jobs to taxi drivers, but we’ll create better paying jobs.”
The Autonomous Vehicle Deployment Authorization Amendment Act of 2026 — introduced by Councilmember Charles Allen in May — would create a program for commercial autonomous vehicles in D.C. that would be run by the District Department of Transportation.

Waymo says its latest safety data, covering more than 270 million miles of autonomous driving, shows its vehicles were involved in 82% fewer injury-causing crashes and 95% fewer crashes involving serious injuries or worse compared with human-driver benchmarks in the same operating areas.
Supporters of robotaxis have also pointed to the potential for lower fares without a human driver, although current comparisons have found Waymo’s prices can vary widely and are not consistently cheaper than traditional rideshare services like Uber and Lyft.
Protesters claimed that while prices may be lower as the driverless vehicles roll out, the rates will eventually spike.
“That’s just something just to…get our antennas up and have us saying, ‘Yeah, ooo, we’re gonna get cheaper rides,’” Sabrina said. “It might be cheap for the trial periods, and then all of a sudden we’ll be paying $50. So no, I don’t believe that. That’s just some crap just to get people engaged with the Waymo.”
“They seem the same price to me,” Helen from Maryland said. “They’re in other cities and it seems like not much of a difference in the pricing.”

The proposed regulatory framework, which could bring robotaxis to the city by 2028, would initially limit operators to 200 vehicles. Companies seeking commercial permits would have to demonstrate at least 180 days and 250,000 miles of autonomous vehicle testing in the District and submit plans aimed at reducing disparities in service availability and wait times across the city’s eight wards.
There was a public hearing on the bill in July, but no vote has been scheduled. The bill would have to be approved by the entire council before self-driving cars start to hit the city’s streets.
“A worker should be at the table,” Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO President Samuel Epps told Fox News Digital at the protest. “We shouldn’t rush this.”

“I don’t think it’s good for the city,” Eddie said. “If my children gonna get in a car, I would prefer for a human to be driving.”
