A group of San Francisco organizers are encouraging people to put traffic cones on the hoods of driverless vehicles as a form of protest against the cars’ expansion on city streets.\nSafe Street Rebel, a group of organizers that advocate for pedestrian safety and reducing the number of cars on roads, are behind this stunt.\nUsually they focus on human drivers, but they argue that driverless cars pose many risks to safety and the environment but are being sold as a strong alternative to vehicles driven by people.\nIn late-July, the San Francisco fire chief, Jeanine Nicholson, urged the state to move slowly on allowing fleets of driverless cars to roam city streets 24x7.\nDriverless cars have been accused of blocking emergency vehicles and buses.
