"The Rise of the Orange Cone: Resistance against Robotaxis in California"

A group of protestors in San Francisco known as the "Safe Street Rebels" are immobilizing robotaxi EVs operated by companies like Waymo and Cruise by placing orange construction cones over their sensors. The opposition to autonomous vehicles has gained attention following a recent vote to expand robotaxi services in California. While some argue it is a fear of autonomy, others believe it is simply a fear of change.
