Blaz: I’ll fight driverless cars

MAYOR DE BLASIO says he’ll try to stop self-driving cars in their tracks.

Hizzoner blasted plans announced by frequent foe Gov. Cuomo to test autonomous General Motors vehicles on Manhattan streets, and said the city would “work vigorously to stop it.”

“This announcement was done without any knowledge of the City of New York, and that is unacceptable,” de Blasio said at an unrelated Upper West Side press conference. “We will use all means at our disposal to stop this from happening.”

He said neither the NYPD nor the Department of Transportation was notified about the plans, which became possible after legislation that passed with the state budget allowed for pilot programs to test self-driving cars.

De Blasio stressed safety issues, and said he had larger concerns about the “pros and cons” of self-driving cars.

Cuomo’s office, which maintains the city was notified, referred a call for comment to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, which said the decision is up to the state, not the city.

“The mayor can do whatever he wants, but the city is subject to state jurisdiction — it’s government 101,” said spokeswoman Tiffany Portzer.

“We understand that the mayor’s taxi industry donors don’t like it, but it is the future and all states are exploring it.”
