D.C.'s robotaxi bill gets a major rewrite. It may not be enough.

The high-stakes battle to legalize robotaxis in D.C. is hitting a political jam, with Mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George and two other council members pushing to delay a vote until next year. Why it matters: Council member Charles Allen is making major concessions to robotaxi companies and offering a carrot to labor unions in an effort to get his bill passed this year. By the numbers: Allen's changes — unveiled on Tuesday — would halve a proposed mileage tax on robotaxi operators to 7.5 cents per mile traveled, a sweetener for the industry. About a quarter of the revenue would go toward helping rideshare drivers facing job displacement, down from 50% in the original bill. That funding would also be limited to three years. The upfront cost of getting a commercial operations permit would plummet from $6 million to $15,000, plus $750 per vehicle. Meanwhile, to soften labor's opposition, Allen is proposing to give rideshare drivers the right to unionize. Uber and Lyft drivers are currently treated as independent contractors, which generally prevents them from collective bargaining under federal law, Allen's office says in a bill summary. It's possible rideshare companies could challenge that provision under federal labor rules. The bill
