Ensuring Safety of Autonomous Vehicles in San Francisco
In San Francisco, the deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has raised concerns about street safety. While AVs have benefits like sticking to speed limits and utilizing cameras and sensors, they still struggle to react in every situation, resulting in collisions, injuries, and traffic disruptions. Regulators expected AVs to comply with road rules, but this hasn't been the case. More than 40 companies have licenses to test AVs in San Francisco, but incidents involving AVs interfering with fire department operations have been reported. The city has called for better performance standards and incremental approvals for AV expansions based on demonstrated performance.
