Self-driving cars have flooded San Francisco’s streets, and not everyone is happy. Street activists have been using a low-tech solution to incapacitate the vehicles.
This is kinda hilarious.
Not sure what they’re trying to show though.
You also can render a human driven car immobile but standing in front of it and have a buddy come up from behind. And what does that prove other than you’re asshole? I don’t see how this activism is different.
The way they explain themselves sounds like NIMBY. I doubt it’s about safety.
They’re trying to show it’s hilarious. And they succeeded.
And 2 months old
Please check the date on the article.
Last I checked, “August 26, 2023” was not two months ago.
If you’d like to accuse NPR of being slow, go for it.
Why you so defensive about reposting reposts of old news
Because this is not old news, if I’m posting an article that came out TWO DAYS AGO.
Anyway, you have a nice day.
Yes it is. Google “traffic cones stop autonomous cars” and look at the 30 “articles” that pop up including npr recycling the same story multiple times.
Do you Google every news if it is actually new? Are we on a news site here?
This is social media. I don’t trust any of us.
I couldn’t help but note the lack of figures of how unsafe driverless cars are, versus a regular car, per distance driven. And for that matter - how much that number had changed over recent years - because that’s the entire point of these tests, to make traffic safer.
And when scooter companies flooded the sidewalks with electric scooters, people threw them into San Francisco Bay.
Ah, that happened here as well. But we just call it vandalism.
Didn’t this turn out to actually be a member of SF city government and his political staff?
Stop spamming old news articles.
We have very different ideas of “old news,” and feel free to block me if you don’t like what I post instead of complaining on two different posts.
This has been posted so many times, I see it at least once per week. Maybe you’re just new
Check the date on the article.
And “new.” Oh, that’s funny. Please, check my posting history to see how “just new” I am here.
The date on the article means nothing, because the information had been published before in other news sources. This article just republished old news with a new date.
I feel with you though, you didn’t know that.Just a tip. If you don’t wait to see a repost, just maybe you could ignore it and move on.
That’s apparently too difficult for some folks out there.
