Anti-car activists have come up with a novel and effective way of disabling driverless vehicles owned by Waymo and Cruise in San Francisco: placing traffic cones on their hoods.\nIt's the work of a group called Safe Streets Rebel, which has launched a protest dubbed \"Week of Cone.\"\nSafe Streets Rebel's protest comes after automatic vehicles were blamed for incidents including crashing into a bus and running over a dog.\nAnd, most importantly, they require streets designed for cars, not people or transit.\nA group of San Franciscans realized that they can disable Waymo and Cruise robotaxis by placing a traffic cone on the vehicle's hood.
