‘Rebel’ group disabling driverless cars with traffic cones

(NewsNation) — An activist group in San Francisco is on a mission to put the brake on driverless cars, claiming the vehicles are unsafe, but the vehicle companies say it’s the group’s actions that are unsafe. A secretive group called Safe Street Rebel has been disabling driverless vehicles by putting orange traffic cones on their hoods. “People are selling it like the future of humanity, robot cars, and then no, a simple low-tech traffic cone and it disables it, at least temporarily,” said an anonymous Safe Street Rebel. “What we want to do is develop tactics against car dominance in all of its forms,” the “Rebel” said. Safe Street Rebel believes this system is dangerous and discourages the use of public transit.
