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