"Protesters Use Traffic Cones to Halt Driverless Cars"
TL;DR Summary
Protesters in San Francisco, known as Safe Street Rebel, have been immobilizing driverless cars operated by companies like Cruise and Waymo by placing traffic cones on their hoods. The group aims to raise awareness about the potential dangers and drawbacks of autonomous vehicles, arguing that the city should not be used as a testing ground for this new technology. While the exact reason why the cones disable the vehicles is unclear, the protest has gained attention and sparked a debate about the vulnerabilities of self-driving cars.
