Kamala Harris's motorcade faced disruptions from self-driving Waymos in San Francisco, highlighting the growing presence of autonomous vehicles in urban environments and their associated challenges.
As the Vice President’s motorcade neared the Fairmont Hotel, a Waymo malfunctioned during a U-turn, requiring intervention from a police officer who had to take control.
Waymo's autonomous vehicles, despite being a nuisance at times, have avoided serious accidents, contrasting with Cruise's troubled licensing status amid reports of dangerous near-misses.
The incidents underscore the ongoing integration of self-driving technology into city life, raising questions about safety, traffic management, and urban policy as autonomous vehicles proliferate.
