: "For the time being, San Francisco residents are in suspense. Cruise’s and Waymo’s driverless cars will compete with medallion taxis and Uber and Lyft. They will likely contribute to congestion, and continue to have near-misses and close calls with cyclists, pedestrians, and other vehicles. To date, there have been about five hundred driverless cars in San Francisco, and they already feel ubiquitous; it’s easy to imagine more of them scrolling up and down the city’s streets. At around eleven o’clock on the night after the C.P.U.C. vote, videos of a traffic jam in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood began circulating on X, the social-media platform formerly known as Twitter. North Beach is an older neighborhood with many narrow one-way streets, often crowded with people visiting restaurants, bars, and strip clubs. The videos showed at least six driverless Cruise cars stalled at an intersection, creating a cluttered, chaotic snarl. The delays, a spokesperson later explained on X, were caused by a wireless-connectivity issue, created by Outside Lands, a large music festival that was happening on the other side of the city. After fifteen minutes, the cars re-started. (The San Francisco Examiner later reported that the jam was actually caused by a pedestrian who intentionally interfered with one of Cruise’s robo-taxis.) On Thursday night, a driverless Cruise car, carrying a passenger, collided with a fire truck. “One of our cars entered the intersection on a green light and was struck by an emergency vehicle that appeared to be en route to an emergency scene,” a statement from Cruise, posted to the company’s corporate X account, read, raising the possibility that the A.V. did not yield to the emergency vehicle, as a human driver likely would have. “We are investigating to better understand our AVs performance, and will be in touch with the City of San Francisco about the event.”"

Hey, kommt schon. Das hätte doch jedem passieren können.

Robotaxi bleibt in nassem Beton stecken

Seit der Freigabe für kommerzielle Robotaxi-Dienste in San Francisco häufen sich die Pannen der Fahrzeuge in der hügeligen Großstadt. Erneut ist ein Robotaxi liegen geblieben – diesmal im nassen Beton.

For all those who are on the side of & , please consider how you feel about the / situation in San Francisco...and how THAT is taking jobs away as well.

All I'm saying is and is doing more than threatening video you watch. It is threatening how you get to work - and play - as well.

drivers (especially GOOD rideshare drivers) affect your everyday life as well. And are you ready for the changes this will bring?

What's really bizarre is that , which operates and , should certainly understand the problems that occur with tech as it scales upward. Yet Waymo seems oblivious (or pretends to be, publicly) of the risks of flooding a city with robotaxis that will freeze up and block roads during emergencies.
