【华盛顿自动驾驶法案引发优步与Waymo正面博弈】美国华盛顿特区一项允许自动驾驶车辆上路运营的法案草案，正成为优步整体无人驾驶出租车战略的关键试点。优步不再只是投资、合作无人驾驶出租车研发企业，还试图主导相关行业监管规则的制定，这一举动让它与自身商业合作伙伴Waymo产生了直接对立。 优步对该法案持反对态度，称这份新规会挤压持证网约车司机的就业空间，实质上让Waymo形成行业垄断。据悉，优步正展开游说，要求无人驾驶出租车必须接入同时配备人类司机的网约车调度平台。隶属于Alphabet集团的Waymo则对这份法案表示支持，称法案既能保障自动驾驶车辆安全落地投放，助力公共交通发展、保障出行权益公平、兼顾从业者利益，同时不会对优步这类企业设置限制条款。 倘若优步游说成功，华盛顿乃至其他地区采纳混合派单平台方案，Waymo这类自动驾驶企业只剩两条出路：接入优步等第三方网约车应用承接派单业务，或是自建运营平台，在耗费数亿美元、历时数年研发的无人车队之外另行招聘人类司机同步开展网约车服务。而在优步看来，如果Waymo一方推动该法案顺利落地，优步自身将会被彻底挤出当地自动驾驶出行市场。
