Photos: Self-driving cars get tangled in downed Muni wires during storm in San Francisco

While humans can see the road closure signs, viewer photos sent to KRON4 show autonomous vehicles cannot. Photos show two self-driving cars that apparently did not detect road closure tape and drove through the closed street due to downed Muni wires at the intersection of Leavenworth Street and Clay Street.

San Francisco has allowed these autonomous cars to navigate its streets without drivers since 2020. Cruise announced recently that it wants to begin testing driverless autonomous vehicles across California.
