Autonomous Vehicle News
Cruise and Waymo Think SoAutonomous vehicle companies Cruise and Waymo have recently launched a campaign to convince the public that humans are bad drivers and that their technologies are the solution to making roads safer. These efforts come as California regulators delay granting expanded permits that would allow both companies to offer fully driverless robotaxi rides in San Francisco around the clock. Critics of autonomous vehicles point out that Cruise and Waymo technologies are far from perfect. Additionally, a Waymo vehicle recently hit and killed a dog in San Francisco, although it appeared to be an unavoidable accident. Waymo operates a fared service throughout San Francisco at any time of the day but is required to have a human safety driver present.
