Waymo's Self-Driving Cars Cause Traffic Disruptions in San Francisco.
TL;DR Summary
Two Waymo robotaxis blocked intersections in San Francisco during a Pride Parade and baseball game, highlighting the increasing number of stalling incidents involving Waymo and Cruise self-driving cars. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has been urging the California Public Utilities Commission to slow down the companies' rollouts, citing concerns about interference with emergency responses, transit operations, and safety. SFMTA is petitioning for robotaxis to be restricted to designated areas during off-peak hours and for data confidentiality requests to be denied. The CPUC will vote on the issue on Thursday.
