Police debunk viral video of "reckless" robotaxi in San Francisco.

A viral video of a self-driving taxi from Cruise blocking emergency vehicles after a mass shooting in San Francisco sparked controversy and criticism from local politicians and media outlets. However, the San Francisco police and fire departments have since clarified that the robotaxi did not delay emergency responders or interfere with the investigation. The incident highlights the ongoing debate around the safety and readiness of robotaxis in complex urban environments, with some calling for a ban or improved regulations. The California Public Utilities Commission is set to consider an expansion plan for Cruise and Waymo on June 29.
