A representative of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group told the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 29 that the group supports the county's draft ordinance governing mobile autonomous AI‑controlled robots and offered to partner with staff on implementation and competitiveness reviews.
"As this ordinance takes effect, we look forward to working with you to ensure San Mateo County remains a top choice for robot deployment and development," Eric Nagamere said, urging county staff to consider recurring regional competitiveness reviews, notice and cure periods for minor technical noncompliance and protections for confidential business information.
Supervisor (mover) thanked the Leadership Group for their "thought partnership" and said the county has already hosted delegations and is exploring multinational collaborations on technology governance.
The robot item was on the consent agenda and moved forward without separate debate.
