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.

These things are in Austin too and they cause smaller versions of issues like this all the time. We have a lot of major events throughout the year and I'm not looking forward to these things interfering with traffic more than they already do.
We were in SF over the weekend and happened upon one of those in the Presidio. It was so incredibly timid about turning... there's no way their current abilities don't lead to issues.
Yes, someone losing patience and doing something may be on that person, but we're talking super tentative, slow and uncaring about the impact on nearby vehicles.
I know all about this. I drive for Uber on the weekends and I just overtake these things cuz they completely stop in the middle of the road to change lanes and I ain't got time for that.
