REGINA Drivers for Transportation Network Companies (TNC) like Uber in Regina will now need to get the appropriate background, criminal record and vulnerable sector checks through the police before they can start working. Drivers will be required to have the checks done no earlier than 90 days before they start driving. The change will take effect on April 1, 2021, with the intent of keeping drivers from offering their services until they get their background checks – essentially mirroring what taxi drivers must go through. Up until the change was made on Wednesday, Uber drivers in Regina were allowed to use a criminal record check performed by any law enforcement agency. A vulnerable sector check was not required.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles issued the state’s first autonomous vehicle deployment permit to Nuro, Inc. The deployment permit authorizes Nuro to operate commercially in two counties in the Bay Area. NHTSA released an advance notice of proposed rulemaking requesting comments to assist in developing regulations regarding the deployment of autonomous driving systems (ADS). The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established a permitting program, which will open the door to commercial autonomous vehicles in California. NHTSA’s request for comments demonstrates that industry support will be critical to developing ADS safety regulation and provides opportunities for public engagement. The CPUC’s regulations could lay a foundation for development of ADS frameworks for other states and potentially future NHTSA regulations.
