Emergency response hindered by Cruise robotaxi during San Francisco mass shooting.

A self-driving car operated by Cruise, owned by General Motors, appeared to hinder emergency responders as they tried to access the scene of a mass shooting in San Francisco's Mission District on Friday night. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of robotaxis offering rides throughout the city. Cruise maintained that the car did not block emergency access to the scene "at any point". The incident comes as state and local officials have raised broader questions about whether autonomous vehicles can safely respond to unpredictable situations.
