Gov. Kathy Hochul reversed course on her State of the State proposal to establish a pilot program testing for-hire self-driving cars in municipalities outside of New York City, her office confirmed on Thursday.

Hochul’s shift in gears on her proposal to test Waymo self-driving cars on upstate streets came after to strong backlash from for-hire vehicle driver groups and safe streets advocates. The change was made official in her 30-day amendments to her state budget proposal.
