Just one day after state officials approved massive robotaxi expansion in San Francisco, a long line of the driverless cars come to a standstill and clog traffic in North Beach neighborhood.
💀
I was recently in SF visiting my son, who lives right off Haight St. I left a bar on Haight on a Saturday night a little tipsy, so I walked a few blocks down Haight to clear my head and came upon one of these at an intersection, and a stray traffic cone. Naturally, I had to try it, and it worked! Well, kinda. The cone fell off the hood immediately, but landed in the crosswalk right in front of the car, and the car just froze.
Delighted with myself, I walked up about a block, gleefully checking back over my shoulder every few steps. The car was frozen. Some passerby snapped a picture of the scene. It was hilarious! It was about that time I decided to head back down to the intersection and snap a pic myself, at least two minutes after I placed the cone.
When I returned to the scene of the crime (as one does), the back window rolls down, and the guy in the back yells: “Yo, dude. What the fuck!?”
I apologized, removed the cone, and took my drunk ass home, laughing all the way.
