Self-driving taxis get lost and cause traffic jam in San Francisco
Self-driving vehicles are a thing of the past, and some are currently being tested in certain parts of North America. Such is the case in San Francisco, where Cruise, the General Motors subsidiary specializing in this field, operates a fleet for testing purposes.
The next day, at least 10 of the vehicles, were stuck in traffic at a busy intersection in the North Beach neighborhood. A large festival caused wireless bandwidth issues that delayed connectivity to our vehicles. We are actively investigating and working on solutions to prevent this from happening again. We apologize to those affected, Cruise said on social media.
Aaron Peskin pointed out that the interruption in cell service could be due to a natural disaster. In such a situation, self-driving cars could prevent emergency vehicles from passing or block evacuation routes. In an interview with ABC7 San Francisco, he emphasized this point: If there's a power outage or a natural disaster, these vehicles could be clogging our roads at the very moment we need to deploy emergency services.
