一项可能让无人驾驶网约车驶入全国首都街道的新提案正在引发工会成员、司机和宗教领袖的强烈不满，他们担心这项技术可能导致大规模失业。
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.
抗议者聚集在约翰·威尔逊大楼外，当时华盛顿特区议会成员正在会议中讨论一项立法，该立法将允许Waymo及其他自动驾驶汽车运营商在华盛顿特区提供商业乘车服务。抗议者敦促议会否决该立法，认为机器人出租车的大量涌入将取代网约车司机。"我们今天出来强烈抗议，因为我们认为这些机器人出租车会让人们失业，"一名抗议者对福克斯新闻数字版说道。"
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.
而人们需要工作。"旧金山乘客拍下Waymo自动驾驶汽车驶入现场烟花的视频"我反对机器人出租车，因为它夺走了社区的东西，夺走了人们的工作，夺走了他们餐桌上的食物，"来自弗吉尼亚的弗雷德里克说。
"And people need jobs." TERRIFIED PASSENGERS FILM WAYMO AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE DRIVING INTO LIVE FIREWORKS IN SAN FRANCISCO "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.
他继续说道："人们需要工作才能养家糊口。""这是胡说八道，"来自华盛顿特区的萨布丽娜说。"我们不应该让机器人抢走邻居的工作。我的那些靠开车谋生的朋友们，我们就不应该拿走他们的工作。"另一名抗议者承认自动驾驶汽车可能会消除一些驾驶岗位，但主张城市应"主动出击"，通过缩短工作周而不降低工资，并在其他领域扩大就业来应对。
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.
我们应该在就业问题上采取进攻性策略，来自华盛顿特区的迈克尔说。我们应该缩短工作周，但不减少工资。这样我们就能在公共交通、医院和服务业创造更多工作岗位。因此，我们可能实际上会失去一些出租车司机的工作，但我们将创造出薪酬更高的工作岗位。2026年自动驾驶汽车部署授权修正案 — — 由议员查尔斯·艾伦于五月提出 — — 将为华盛顿特区的商业自动驾驶汽车创建一个由交通运输部门管理的项目。
"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.
特斯拉机器人出租车迈阿密发布会附带限制条件。Waymo表示，其最新安全数据涵盖超过2.7亿英里的自动驾驶里程，显示其车辆在导致受伤的事故方面比人类司机基准低82%，在导致严重受伤或更严重后果的事故方面低95%。
TESLA ROBOTAXI MIAMI LAUNCH COMES WITH LIMITS 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.
机器人出租车的支持者还指出，无人驾驶有可能降低票价，尽管目前的比较发现Waymo的价格可能波动较大，且并不始终低于传统网约车服务如Uber和Lyft。
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.
抗议者声称，虽然随着无人驾驶车辆的推出，价格可能会降低，但费用最终可能会飙升。
Protesters claimed that while prices may be lower as the driverless vehicles roll out, the rates will eventually spike.
那只是为了……让我们的天线竖起来，让我们说：“哦，我们要坐更便宜的车了，”萨布丽娜说。“试用期可能很便宜，但随后我们可能突然要付50美元。所以不，我不相信。那只是一些垃圾，只是为了让人们参与Waymo。”
"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."
“在我看来价格差不多，”来自马里兰州的海伦说。“它们在其他城市运营，价格似乎也没有太大差别。”ZOOX 机器人出租车重新设计带来乘客重大升级拟议的监管框架可能在2028年前将机器人出租车带入该市，最初将限制运营商仅能运营200辆车辆。寻求商业许可的公司必须证明在哥伦比亚特区进行了至少180天和25万英里的自动驾驶车辆测试，并提交旨在减少该市八个行政区服务可用性和等待时间差异的计划。
"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." ZOOX ROBOTAXI REDESIGN BRINGS BIG RIDER UPGRADES 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.
该法案在7月曾举行过公开听证会，但尚未安排投票。该法案必须获得全体议会批准后，无人驾驶汽车才能开始在该市街道上行驶。
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.
“工人应该坐在谈判桌上，”华盛顿特区都会区劳工联合会（AFL-CIO）主席塞缪尔·埃普斯在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时表示。“我们不应该仓促推进此事。”
"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."
“我认为这对城市不好，”埃迪说。“如果我的孩子要坐车，我宁愿让人类来开车。”
"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."
