Major win for New York drivers. Thanks to the strong voices of IDG members, labor allies, and community supporters, the governor pulled the driverless car proposal from the state budget. This victory shows what’s possible when drivers stand together and organize.

A former Waymo employee is warning the public: the self-driving cars he tested were dangerous and nearly caused many serious crashes. Our communities shouldn’t be testing grounds for tech experiments. We say NO to driverless vehicles. wsmv.com/video/2026/03/…

Austin, TX (MAR.07.2026)- Terrifying situation here as a Waymo picked one of the worst spots on earth for a patented freezing event. Thank goodness there was reportedly no passenger inside of the vehicle. Initially, we were suspicious that this was an AI video and so we employed our in-house ‘Ai or nor™️’ investigative team. This video has been validated as not AI. The The account posting the video is a real account of a woman who lives in Austin and has no AI videos in her profile. #NeedIntelligence #ManilaWeHaveAProblem #SunsetProject

Great news. The Waymo driverless car bill in Virginia has been shelved. Thank you to the IAM Union who worked with us to make sure the concerns of the rideshare workers were heard. Thank you to everyone who spoke up and took action.

“Brendan Sexton, the president of the Independent Drivers Guild, called the pullback ‘a major win for ride-share workers and an important step for public safety and working families.’” Read @stefanoschen on @GovKathyHochul’s backing off of AV. nytimes.com/2026/02/19/nyr…

When workers and communities speak out, leaders listen. Today is a win for working New Yorkers. Thank you @GovKathyHochul

Last week, IDG hosted our first-ever event for Russian-speaking drivers, and it was a huge success! Thanks to all the drivers who showed up. We'll continue to create spaces where NY Russian-speaking drivers can engage in discussions about driver issues and driver resources..

🚨 VICTORY FOR NEW YORK DRIVERS 🚨 After strong opposition from rideshare drivers, labor & community advocates, Governor Hochul is pulling the driverless car proposal from the budget — protecting public safety & our livelihoods. This is what happens when drivers stand together.✊

This fight is no longer hypothetical. Driverless cars are now part of the state budget conversation in Albany. If we do not act, Waymo could be picking up paid passengers across New York. Add your name to protect driver jobs: bit.ly/NoDriverlessCa…

Tomorrow in Brooklyn: IDG’s Russian-language driver outreach event. Drivers will hear updates, connect with advocates, and get the resources they deserve. RSVP: bit.ly/RussianSpeakin…

Strong communities build strong drivers. IDG’s Russian-language outreach event on February 11 is about sharing resources, updates, and real support. Save your spot: bit.ly/RussianSpeakin…

Yesterday, I got Waymo to admit they are using people 8000 miles away in the Philippines tohelp guide their self-driving cars in the U.S.    This should scare us all. It must end.

Russian-speaking Uber and Lyft drivers deserve access to information, resources, and community support. Join IDG on February 11 in Brooklyn for a Russian-language driver outreach event with advocates and leaders. RSVP: bit.ly/RussianSpeakin…

@SenateCommerce @SenTedCruz Autonomous vehicles are endangering kids from Texas to California & at the same time they are stealing local jobs. Will you establish independent safety & vision tests to protect the public? Keep these dangerous Robotaxis off our streets.@EnergyCommerce kxan.com/investigations…

AVs are now providing mobility to the disabled, improving auto safety, and advancing technologies that have the potential to save millions of wasted hours in traffic, but most importantly, save thousands of American lives. Chairman @SenTedCruz convenes a hearing discussing a federal framework for AV deployment.

A child was hit by a Waymo robotaxi in California last week. This is yet more evidence that Waymos should not be allowed on public streets in New York State. @GovKathyHochul, protect New Yorkers — keep autonomous robotaxis off our roads. ktla.com/news/local-new… #1u

Waymo is still coming, quietly and aggressively. While drivers work long hours to support their families, tech corporations are lobbying to replace us. That is why this petition matters. Help us reach 25,000 signatures and draw a clear line. Sign & share: bit.ly/NoDriverlessCa…
