Robotaxi companies including Aurora, May Mobility, Motional, Nuro, Tesla, Waymo, and Zoox declined to disclose how often their autonomous vehicles require remote human intervention during a Senate inquiry led by Senator Ed Markey.

**What Happened**  
These leading AV developers refused to provide specific metrics on remote assistance rates amid growing regulatory scrutiny. The companies cited proprietary concerns and competitive sensitivity as reasons for withholding data.

**Why It Matters for the AECM Industry**  
Lack of transparency on AV reliability complicates infrastructure planning and safety assessments for urban mobility projects. Project managers and engineers must consider potential operational interruptions and integration challenges when designing environments for autonomous fleets.

**What's Next**  
Senator Markey's investigation may prompt legislative action demanding greater disclosure from robotaxi operators. Industry stakeholders should monitor regulatory developments affecting AV deployment timelines and compliance requirements.
