2024: New York City authorities ban driverless self-driving cars in cabin after series of crashes
At the end of March 2024, the New York administration announced new rules for the operation of unmanned vehicles in the city. It is forbidden to test such cars without a driver who is ready to take control at any time.
The problem stems from a series of road accidents involving self-driving cars. In particular, in October 2023, an unmanned taxi Cruise San Francisco hit a pedestrian, dragging him several meters along the asphalt. A few months later, a self-driving car Waymo hit a cyclist, causing him injuries. San Francisco city officials criticized both companies for creating problems on the roads.
New York expects to avoid such problems by requiring companies to have a constant presence of professional drivers in self-driving vehicles. In case of danger or unforeseen situation, a person must immediately take control of the car. At the same time, companies will have to send detailed information to regulators about how their drivers are trained, who will have to sit behind the wheel of self-driving vehicles.
Similarly, companies will need to provide regulators with driver action protocols, where it should be described in detail "how the operator will interfere with the system and compensate for failures of autopilot tools." It is noted that the data collected during the drone testing programs will ultimately be available on the city open information portal. At the same time, the city's Department of Transport will consider requests from applicants for non-disclosure of certain information in accordance with confidentiality standards. All these rules are aimed at improving safety on city streets.[1]

Batteries in bicycles and electric scooters are the main cause of fires in New York
Lithium-ion batteries used in electric bicycles, electric scooters and other means of individual mobility (such as, for example, a monocycle) became the main cause of fires in New York. This is stated in the report of the Fire Department of New York, which was released in early March 2024.
Personal mobility tools quickly gained popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the number of fires associated with lithium-ion batteries of such vehicles has increased almost nine times. There were more scooter and bike battery-related fires in the first two months of 2023 than in all of 2019 overall.
In 2019, 30 fires were recorded associated with batteries of personal mobility equipment. By 2021, their number had more than tripled, with 104 fires reported. In 2022, 220 such fires happened: they caused the death of six people. In 2023, 268 fires of lithium-ion batteries in personal mobility equipment were recorded: as a result of these fires, 18 people were killed, and another 150 were injured of varying severity.
The New York City Fire Department continues to grapple with stores that illegally sell and repair battery-powered bicycles and scooters. As of February 26, 2024, 31 fires related to personal mobility facilities occurred in the city. At the same time, 26 people were injured and one died.
 | Poorly manufactured and improperly operated lithium-ion batteries are time bombs in American homes and commercial businesses, says U.S. Rep. Richie Torres (D-N.Y.).[2] |  |

New York City hits deadliest fire in 30 years
On January 9, 2022, New York City experienced its deadliest fire in 30 years. The fire in a 19-story residential building killed 19 people, including nine children. Another 63 people received injuries of varying severity. The condition of 32 of them is assessed as life-threatening. About 200 firefighters fought the fire.
According to the head of the New York Fire Department, Daniel Nigro, the cause of the fire was a faulty heater in an apartment located on the second and third floors of the building. When the fire started, the homeowners left the apartment without closing the door. Because of this, smoke spread throughout the building. He caused the death of most of the victims. The victims were "literally on every floor of the building," Nigro said.
Fire and smoke instantly spread throughout the building, blocking many residents from getting out. At the same time, the house was equipped with a fire alarm, which worked in normal mode. However, many fire victims ignored the siren, since the alarm in the house repeatedly went off falsely.
The building was inhabited mainly by representatives of Muslim minorities, in particular immigrants from the Gambia. City officials are concerned about arranging funerals for the dead in accordance with Islamic traditions. In addition, representatives of the community are involved, who help the victims of the fire, temporarily placed in the building of the nearby school.
| | It was one of the worst fires we have witnessed in New York in recent years, "said Mayor Eric Adams. | |
Daniel Nigro clarified that the last time a fire of similar proportions occurred in New York and, which claimed the lives of a large number of people, occurred in the Bronx more than 30 years ago at the Happy Land community club. The incident occurred on March 25, 1990. Then 87 people died in the fire.[3]

New York new buildings banned from using gas
On December 15, 2021, the New York City Council approved legislation to ban the use of natural gas in most new buildings. The initiative is designed to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the most populous US city causing climate change.
The New York City Council approved a ban on natural gas for new buildings, receiving 40 yes and seven no votes, joining cities like San Jose and San Francisco that have made similar commitments to reduce emissions.
Nearly 40% of the country's carbon dioxide emissions - and more than half of New York's - are from buildings. The bill has been sent for signature to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Once signed, the law will take effect at the end of 2023 for some buildings below seven floors and in 2027 for buildings above. Hospitals, crematoriums and laundries are not covered by the ban.
Construction projects submitted for approval after 2027 will have to use electricity for furnaces, heaters and hot water boilers, instead of gas or oil. Residents who already have gas stoves and heaters installed in their homes will not be affected unless they move into a new building.
| | This bill was about prioritizing people over profit and property, "Councilwoman Alika Ampri-Samuel, who led efforts to pass the bill, said at a rally outside City Hall on Wednesday December 15. - We are at the stage of our life when we need to act. We need to make sure we protect and preserve our environment. | |
The legislation also provides for two studies to be conducted by the Mayor's Office for Long-Term Planning and Sustainable Development. The first will consider the use of heat pump technology, and the second will examine the impact of the new bill on the city's electricity grid.
Legislative norms passed by state lawmakers Sen. Brian Kavanagh and Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, who are both Democrats, will continue to require that all buildings built in the state after 2023 be fully electrified. If it passes, New York will become the first state to ban the use of natural gas in new buildings at the state level.[4]
