San Francisco’s Mixed Reaction to Self-Driving Cars

San Francisco, known for its early embrace of technology, is experiencing a mixed reaction to the presence of self-driving cars. Companies like Cruise and Waymo have introduced their autonomous vehicles to the city, but they are not being universally welcomed. With a population of about 800,000, San Francisco has already witnessed thousands of miles of self-driving car tests, and some residents have become regular users. In order to expand their operations in San Francisco, Cruise and Waymo are awaiting a decision from the California Public Utilities Commission. Both Cruise and Waymo are determined to address these concerns and change public perception of self-driving cars.
