Activists Coning Cruise & Waymo: Disabling Self-Driving Cars in San Francisco

A group called Safe Street Rebel in San Francisco has been placing traffic cones on the hoods of driverless cars from Waymo and Cruise to stop them in their tracks, as a form of protest against the spread of autonomous vehicles. The group aims to draw attention to a vote on July 13 that will determine whether Cruise and Waymo can expand their robotaxi services in San Francisco. The group has gained viral attention and media requests since announcing their actions on Twitter, and while public opinion is divided, they continue to obstruct driverless cars on the city's streets.
