Self-driving cars have flooded San Francisco’s streets, and not everyone is happy. Street activists have been using a low-tech solution to incapacitate the vehicles.

      Not sure what they’re trying to show though.

      You also can render a human driven car immobile but standing in front of it and have a buddy come up from behind. And what does that prove other than you’re asshole? I don’t see how this activism is different.

        The way they explain themselves sounds like NIMBY. I doubt it’s about safety.

        Please check the date on the article.

        Last I checked, “August 26, 2023” was not two months ago.

        If you’d like to accuse NPR of being slow, go for it.

          Why you so defensive about reposting reposts of old news

            Because this is not old news, if I’m posting an article that came out TWO DAYS AGO.

            Anyway, you have a nice day.

              Yes it is. Google “traffic cones stop autonomous cars” and look at the 30 “articles” that pop up including npr recycling the same story multiple times.

                Do you Google every news if it is actually new? Are we on a news site here?

                  This is social media. I don’t trust any of us.
