( Natural News ) The autonomous vehicles of the self-driving car company Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors, are causing traffic incidents in San Francisco . On more than one occasion, these driverless cars even blocked buses .
San Francisco residents took to social media to share images and videos of at least three Cruise self-driving cars blocking traffic in the city on the same night on Thursday, Sep. 22. (Related: Waymo self-driving taxi goes rogue in Arizona, blocking traffic and escaping rescue crew .)
The first incident occurred in the Nob Hill neighborhood in northeastern San Francisco. Video footage and photos circulating on social media show a Cruise driverless vehicle in front of a bus owned by the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni). In one video, frustrated commuters could be heard complaining about the blockage.
“Come on, we’ve got to get the f— going,” one person yelled.
“There’s no driver!” another responded.
The second incident occurred several blocks to the southwest in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood at approximately 10:19 p.m. The self-driving car reportedly veered into a bus lane and stopped just in time to avoid hitting another Muni bus. The driver of the bus was forced to maneuver around the stopped vehicle.
Several blocks to the northeast of the first incident, a third vehicle was found in the middle of the road with its hazard lights on and playing music. It blocked traffic and forced cars, including another Muni bus, to reroute around it.
None of the incidents resulted in collisions or injuries.The incident comes just two months after nearly 20 of Cruise’s self-driving cars blocked traffic in the Filmore District neighborhood just southwest of Nob Hill. In May, Cruise driverless cars obstructed a fire truck responding to an emergency, leading to a delayed response that resulted in personal injuries and property damage. […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
