Have you ever been driving through a city, and thought, “Man, these drivers are all IDIOTS”? Well, the tech companies made sure to include that “feature” in their driverless cars.
There’s a company called Cruise that’s operating self-driving taxis in San Francisco. And even though their cars don’t have human drivers . . . they can still drive like idiots.
On Tuesday, a Cruise car drove past some construction barricades . . . and got stuck in WET CEMENT. There weren’t any passengers at the time.
The car was pulled out, and recovered by Cruise. It’s unclear if it was damaged. The cement definitely WAS damaged, and it will have to be repaired, with Cruise footing the bill for that. (Cruise is a subsidiary of General Motors.)
Coincidentally, just last week, San Francisco EXPANDED self-driving taxi services . . . primarily for Cruise and another company called Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet.
(Here’s a pic of the Cruise car stuck in the cement.)
