"Driverless Car Chaos: Austin Streets Grind to a Halt as Company Scrambles for Solutions"

Two driverless cars owned by Cruise, a rideshare and delivery company, stopped on Austin streets as a safety measure when they were uncertain of the safest way to proceed. The vehicles were equipped with hazard lights and monitored by Remote Assistance advisors who can suggest a pathway for the cars to proceed. Local motorists expressed concerns about sharing the road with autonomous vehicles, while the City of Austin clarified that it does not regulate driverless cars as they fall under state regulations.
