San Francisco residents were caught off guard this weekend after Cruise self-driving cars caused a traffic jam, according to social media posts — days after state regulators approved robotaxi companies to operate driverless cars 24/7 throughout the city
Videos posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, show at least 10 Cruise vehicles not moving with their hazard lights blinking in the city’s North Beach neighborhood, near where the Outside Lands music festival was happening. One account, FriscoLive415, said the incident was a “complete meltdown.
The incident came a day after the the California Public Utilities Commission , which regulates self-driving cars in the state, voted 3-to-1 in favor of Waymo and Cruise expanding their operations. That means residents and visitors to San Francisco will be able to pay a fare to ride in a driverless taxi, ushering in new automated competition to cab and ridehail drivers.
