San Fran protesters stop self-driving cars with cones

A group in San Francisco is placing cones on self-driving cars to disable them.

Members are targeting Waymo and Cruise autonomous cars during a ‘week of cone’.

Safe Street Rebels advocates for pedestrian safety and ‘the end of car dominance’.

Officials are set to vote on whether to allow Cruise and Waymo to expand their services in the city.

Artificial Intelligence is realy hard. Artificial stupidity is really easy.

I am no environmentalist or Just Stop Oil vermin but I do love these activists…….well done to them….🇬🇧

"But instead they block buses, emergency vehicles, and everyday traffic. They even killed a person and a dog."
just like human drivers.

A car can be used as a weapon. I don't think its smart to have them 100% driverless

[sherriffs]

Good. I really hate these cruise cars. I often see 10 of them in a row at night! This company really shamelessly took advantage of permission.

What about all the dangerous cars with humans

[reefer-joe]

There are more parental controls on most smartphones than in any of these vehicles, and the cars don’t have to pass a written driving test either. That’s just wrong.

San Francisco will be future testing ground for a robocop
💯

Detroit become human is actually coming oh no

Protesting against blocking traffic by blocking traffic. Because its fun. Sounds logical. Not!

Let me pack my houmous and get me sandals on

[notaspy]

I don't think they are dangerous, I just enjoy putting cones on the hood and watching them derp out.

Machines break down, in some cases, quicker than the human mind, 100% driverless isn't a good idea, and rather impersonal

[pepitolevrai]

"But instead they block buses, emergency vehicle" and to stop that they stop the car in the middle of the street. Very effective

Anyone who owns a car will want a self driving car. Owning presents business opportunity.

We've had driverless cars for decades here in England, they have people in them but that's about it! Especially Nissan Micra, Suzuki Wagon R and Honda Jazz. They also have cruise control set to 28mph regardless of the local

[RokeJulianLockhart.souq]

I support the existence and presence of driverless vehicles, and prefer them to human-driven counterparts.

[jj-bvui]

Yeah i work here and dont even trust them tbh 😅 theyre just a way to never properly pay rideshare drivers.

[EagleAirsoft]

Isn’t the fact that it stopped proving the point of its safety … thus making this nothing but vandalism. I can’t wait for cars to take drivers out of the equation.

[BuddhaAfterDark]

It has begun xD don’t forget to go to your ripper dock for a regular checkup 😉
