What has to change for Avride to operate in NYC
- Albany amends VTL §1226 or passes an AV pilot that includes NYC (see tracker).
- NYC DOT issues a testing permit and the TLC creates a license category — S10413 would restrict it to medallion owners.
- Labor deal: every live proposal ties approval to driver-transition funding or union sign-off.
