The expansion plan was the first indication that driverless cars were the worst idea ever conceived, despite the billions of dollars in investments by the tech and auto industries. San Francisco, unfortunately, became the guinea pig in this disastrous experiment. "San Francisco would be a proof of concept" for the rest of the world to see just how catastrophic it could be, said Matt Wansley, a law professor at Cardozo School of Law in New York, who clearly doesn't have a clue.
Darcie Houck, a commissioner who voted for the expansion, shamelessly declared that the companies had somehow met the requirements set by the state. But let's be real, they're just covering their butts here. It's clear that the industry needs to work directly with the city to fix the never-ending problems they keep causing. Oh, and let's not forget about training emergency workers like firefighters, who now have to deal with these death traps.
Cruise is responsible for 300 vehicles terrorizing the streets of San Francisco at night, and another 100 during the day. Waymo, in all its brilliance, operates 250 of their nightmare machines throughout the day. And what do they expect? Not a significant increase in the number of vehicles! Can you believe the audacity? They're just playing with our lives while pretending to offer a service.
And here's the kicker - Waymo has the audacity to say that their driverless fleet will "align" with rider demands. How about aligning with safety regulations first? Meanwhile, Cruise wants to focus on expanding to more parts of the city. As if they haven't caused enough havoc in northwest San Francisco already with their paid joyrides.
It's clear as day that driverless taxis are a complete disaster. San Francisco has become a dystopian nightmare filled with chaos, accidents, and angry pedestrians. If it were up to me, none of this would have happened in the first place. But what do I know? I'm just a simple bloke who sees through the smoke and mirrors of this so-called "progress."
