Opinion - Mark Policinski: Arrival of Waymo’s driverless technology is a transportation win for the region

Waymo's autonomous vehicle technology is expanding to the Northern Kentucky-Ohio region, a development that OKI Regional Council of Governments CEO Mark Policinski says will improve mobility for elderly residents, people with disabilities, and underserved populations while boosting regional commerce and economic growth. Policinski argues the technology, which he predicted would arrive sooner than industry experts expected, addresses long-standing transportation gaps and positions the tri-state area as a leader in autonomous vehicle deployment.
