Why Expanding Driverless Taxi Service Is Facing Protests in San Francisco
When San Francisco first began offering driverless, commercial "robotaxis" to ferry the public, it seemed as though the city could actually turn a feat promised by science fiction into a reality. Then, things started going wrong. A car stopped in the middle of the street during rush hour, causing a two-mile traffic jam. Another drove into a construction zone. Emergency responders racing towards a medical call were held up for 8 minutes as they rapped on the windows of a driverless car blocking the way.
