The San Francisco Taxi Workers Alliance is planning a protest at the headquarters of the California Public Utilities Commission on Monday against expansion of autonomous vehicle fleets in the city.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which has urged the state to collect more data before making a decision, estimated last month that more than 90 complaints about driverless cars were reported in both March and April.
The transportation agency said the AVs stop in place when confused instead of pulling over; pick up and drop off passengers in traffic lanes and have difficulty understanding things like traffic control officers or construction sites. "AV operations are a massive experiment, with the public as guinea pigs," Gruberg said."The CPUC is about to bestow a premature approval on an immature technology."
