A California commission will vote on Thursday on whether to allow two self-driving car companies to begin commercially operating their vehicles in San Francisco around the clock. If the commissioners vote to approve the resolution, San Francisco will be the first city in the nation with commercial driverless networks operating at all times. Among those warning against the expansion was the San Francisco fire department chief, who said that the cars were “not ready for prime time”. Waymo and Cruise tested their vehicles in San Francisco for several years before rolling out a small fleet of cars without drivers in 2020. If the CPUC votes to approve the resolution, the companies will be permitted to operate their commercial driverless services around San Francisco at all hours.
