As Waymo Safety Concerns Mount, Lawsuit Contends DMV Decision Skirted the Law; Kept Public in the Dark about Economic, Jobs, and Safety Impact

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teamsters California sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today, asserting the agency circumvented laws requiring the agency to study and publicly disclose the economic impacts of allowing self-driving heavy-duty trucks on the state’s roads, thereby denying the public meaningful input on the decision.

The lawsuit also charges that the DMV failed to consider the safety risks to motorists sharing the road with self-driving trucks that are still being tested and have not been fully vetted. The suit, filed in Alameda Superior Court, contends the process by which the DMV implemented regulations authorizing the testing of self-driving heavy-duty trucks was so fundamentally flawed that the regulations must be repealed.

“Every day brings new evidence that Waymo robotaxis are putting public safety at risk, and those dangers scale up exponentially with trucks that are up to 16 times heavier and moving at highway speeds,” said Peter Finn, Co-Chair of Teamsters California. “Such a critical decision with life-and-death consequences must involve public input and transparency — that is why Teamsters California is taking the DMV to court and demanding California follow the law and thoroughly study the consequences of allowing 80,000-pound driverless vehicles on our roads before actually permitting them.”

In April 2026, the DMV enacted regulations for the first time that allow commercial trucks and other vehicles over 10,000 pounds to operate fully autonomously on public roads in California. To avoid a required study and public disclosure of the economic impacts of such a sweeping change, the DMV used a shortcut process meant for minor regulatory updates with less than $50 million in costs or benefits in the first year after implementation. According to the lawsuit, the DMV’s rushed process vastly underestimated the costs of deploying self-driving trucks, outrageously claiming not a single job would be eliminated by autonomous heavy vehicles.

“Teamsters California will keep fighting for public safety and good jobs on every front: in the courtroom, at the ballot box, and into the next administration,” said Victor Mineros, Co-Chair of Teamsters California. “California’s leaders must put communities’ needs —not corporate greed — front and center.”

The lawsuit comes amid mounting concern over the safety of driverless vehicles and calls for stricter regulation of robotaxis. A recent poll found four in five California voters support legislation requiring all self-driving trucks and delivery vehicles operating on California public roads and freeways to have a human safety operator present at all times. Gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra has committed to reversing the DMV’s heavy-duty autonomous vehicle rules if elected.

Self-driving trucks are an existential threat to the livelihoods of Teamsters members in California who deliver food and other essentials and are a crucial economic engine for the state. 

The writ petition is here. Teamsters California is represented in the lawsuit by Bush Gottlieb.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 360training.com, Inc., recognized by Newsweek’s America’s Top Online Learning Providers list, today announced the acquisition of select assets from the San Antonio-based operators of seven specialized compliance training brands. The acquired portfolio spans mandatory training and certificate programs across healthcare, OSHA and workplace safety, food handling, forklift operations, hazardous materials, defensive driving, and transportation safety. This acquisition meaningfully broadens 360training’s multi-industry compliance footprint, adding established brands and a diverse learner base to its growing family of training providers supporting the United States and Canada.

These brands include:

American Health TrainingNational OSHA FoundationNational Food Handlers FoundationNational Forklift FoundationNational HAZWOPER FoundationDefensive Driving FoundationNational Health Training

Each is purpose-built to serve professionals and employers navigating mandatory federal and state compliance requirements. Each brand delivers a focused, audience-specific training experience supported by proprietary course content. Together, these platforms serve individual learners, employers, and regulated industries requiring recurring training to satisfy federal OSHA standards, state health codes, DOT mandates, and sector-specific safety regulations.

“The depth and diversity of this portfolio is what makes this acquisition so strategically compelling,” said Tom Anderson, CEO of 360training. “From healthcare training to HAZWOPER compliance to food handler training, the experts behind these brands have built trusted, regulation-aligned brands that serve learners across the full spectrum of the workforce. Adding these platforms to our ecosystem strengthens our ability to serve both individual professionals and enterprise employers who need comprehensive, multi-disciplinary compliance solutions in one place.”

Expanding Across Regulated Industries with Complementary Depth
With over 4,000 courses already in its catalog, 360training adds 57 unique courses through this acquisition, deepening its breadth across compliance training verticals.

American Health Training delivers online BLS, ACLS, PALS, CPR, First Aid, and clinical certification programs required by healthcare employers, accreditation bodies, and federal law.National OSHA Foundation provides a comprehensive suite of OSHA-related workplace safety courses, including OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour Outreach training programs with official Department of Labor cards, serving industrial employers, contractors, and safety officers across regulated environments.National HAZWOPER Foundation addresses federally mandated hazardous materials training under 29 CFR 1910.120, with recurring renewal requirements that drive consistent learner re-engagement.National Food Handlers Foundation extends 360training’s Food & Alcohol compliance reach, offering food safety and alcohol training programs to hospitality employers and individual food service workers.National Forklift Foundation delivers OSHA-aligned forklift operator training programs supporting workforce safety and employer compliance across warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing.Defensive Driving Foundation offers state-recognized defensive driving and traffic safety programs that serve both fleet operators and individual drivers seeking court-ordered or employer-required training.National Health Training addresses expanded healthcare training needs across international markets, complementing 360training’s growing global compliance strategy.

Each brand operates in a regulatory environment defined by recurring renewal cycles, employer documentation mandates, and audit readiness requirements, characteristics that align closely with 360training’s long-standing compliance training philosophy and enterprise service model.

“What distinguishes this portfolio is that nearly every program carries a renewal requirement,” said Samantha Montalbano, COO of 360training. “That structure creates ongoing relationships with learners and employers, not one-time transactions. Integrating these brands into our compliance ecosystem allows us to support workers throughout the full lifecycle of their training obligation, delivering both initial training and recertification within a single, seamless platform.”

Enhancing the Customer Experience
With the addition of these seven brands, employers and individual learners gain access to a broader range of accredited training programs, all supported by 360training’s scalable learning platform, centralized compliance reporting tools, and enterprise-grade administrative infrastructure.

“Our customers, whether they’re a solo food handler or an HR director managing thousands of employees, deserve a training experience that is simple, credible, and built around their compliance requirements,” said Ryan Linders, CMO of 360training. “These brands have already earned the trust of learners in highly regulated fields. By connecting them to 360training’s platform, we’re delivering enhanced digital experiences, improved learner tracking, and a broader catalog of compliance solutions that serve learners wherever their obligations take them.”
