Autonomous Trucks
Members of a group called Safe Street Rebel started placing construction cones atop the hoods of robotaxis last month in San Francisco. Both Waymo and Cruise, the two robotaxi companies operating in San Francisco, declined to say how many times their cars have been coned. But Safe Street Rebel organizers plan to continue their battle against self-driving vehicles, particularly as the municipal transit agency petitions state regulators for a formal reconsideration of their decision. "It's definitely not over," Andy, a 27-year-old representative of Safe Street Rebel told Automotive News. California's penal code describes vandalism as "maliciously damaging, destroying or defacing" property, and Safe Street Rebel said its actions constitute none of the above.
