A Learjet 60 flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas crashed on Military Trail in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday, exploding on impact and killing all nine people on board, including tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson and his family.

Cockpit audio captured reports of turbulence, icing and a rapid overspeed descent before the crew declared an emergency. One person on the ground was injured.

During this period, a concrete step emerged under Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's push for AV deregulation: NHTSA granted Amazon's Zoox an exemption to deploy steering wheel-less robotaxis and charge for rides. The decision is seen as part of the Trump administration's effort to eliminate federal mandates for driver controls and develop national AV safety standards.

A coalition of 22 states and Pennsylvania filed lawsuits on August 13, 2026, seeking an emergency order to block the Trump administration from accessing the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS), a state-owned database with personal data of 17 million commercial drivers. The states allege the DOT, FMCSA, and DHS unlawfully demanded records from AAMVA under threat of cutting $10 million in federal funding and a subpoena, violating privacy laws and the Administrative Procedure Act. The administration claims it needs the data to identify unsafe or illegal immigrant drivers, having already revoked over 30,000 licenses.

Amazon's Zoox gets NHTSA exemption to charge for robotaxi rides

Amazon-owned Zoox received a two-year NHTSA exemption to commercially deploy up to 2,500 purpose-built, steering wheel-less robotaxis annually, starting paid rides in Las Vegas next month. The Trump administration’s deregulatory push aims to remove federal mandates for driver controls and develop national AV safety standards. Supporters include disability and safety groups, while critics cite insufficient testing, regulatory capture risks, and union opposition. Zoox previously offered free rides and recalled 105 vehicles over a smoke-detection software issue.
