Cruise robotaxi collides with fire truck in San Francisco, leaving one injured::A crash between Cruise robotaxi and a San Francisco Fire Department truck occurred last night in Tenderloin. The incident happed a week after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved 24/7 autonomous taxi ride services.
Allowing operation of autonomous vehicles in high risk situations should include stipulations for major fines and restitution for anyone hurt by a misbehaving vehicle. It’s not the fire truck’s responsibility to give way, Waymo/Cruise better figure it out, they have smart people on their team.
