Driverless taxis, sometimes referred to as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are a common sight in San Francisco, to the amazement of many tourists. As the name suggests, there is no driver. A customer can hail a cab with an app and then unlock the door with their phone. California has suspended Cruise driverless taxis from San Francisco streets after a pedestrian was dragged under its wheels after an accident. The company is one of two firms that has been allowed to provide taxi trips with driverless cars in the city. On 2 October, a pedestrian was struck and then propelled into the path of a Cruise car. The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) cited safety concerns, claiming the company had misrepresented what had happened after the incident. DO you think that autonomous vehicles need their own city to operate ?
