San Francisco's North Beach streets clogged as long line of Cruise robotaxis come to a standstill

"One day after California green-lighted a massive expansion of driverless robotaxis in San Francisco, the implications became clear.

At about 11 p.m. Friday, as many as 10 Cruise driverless taxis blocked two narrow streets in the center of the city’s lively North Beach bar and restaurant district. All traffic came to a standstill on Vallejo Street and around two corners on Grant. Human-driven cars sat stuck behind and in between the robotaxis, which might as well have been boulders: no one knew how to move them."

"As I understand it, outside lands impacted LTE cell connectivity and ability for RA advisors to route cars."


I wonder who gets the ticket(s) in this situation?
