SF Bay wreckage found as Volare tragedy leaves two missing

San Francisco police found the submerged wreckage of the Volare, a 49-foot cabin cruiser that sank in SF Bay with about 20 people aboard while they were scattering ashes. The body of Tondra Madruga, 58, was recovered and identified. One other person died during rescue, and two—Carol and Jackie Boisa—remain missing. The wreck sits about 120 feet deep near Treasure Island and is being assessed by an ROV after initial sonar searches, as the Coast Guard had previously scoured roughly 800 square miles looking for more victims.

"From Taxis to Buses: Exploring San Francisco and Orlando's Driverless Transportation"

San Francisco's first driverless shuttle, part of a free and fully electric autonomous shuttle service called "the Loop," has begun offering public rides on Treasure Island. However, despite being touted as driverless, the shuttle still requires a safety operator to take control in various situations, such as encountering emergency vehicles or aligning with the curb. Riders have reported frequent and jolting stops, with the shuttle sometimes mistaking shadows for obstacles and abruptly slamming on the brakes. The service aims to improve transit on the island, which currently has limited options, but some residents remain skeptical about its usefulness.
