San Francisco Activists Disrupt Waymo and Cruise Robotaxis with Traffic Cones

Activist group Safe Street Rebel in San Francisco has found a way to disable self-driving taxis from Waymo and Cruise by placing traffic cones on their hoods. The group is campaigning against the expansion of autonomous taxi services, claiming that they block buses, emergency vehicles, and create more traffic. The prank, known as the "Week of Cone," comes as the California Public Utilities Commission considers allowing Waymo and Cruise to operate their driverless cabs 24/7 in San Francisco. Activists are urging residents to participate in the upcoming meeting to voice their opposition.
