Cruise CEO says SF ‘should be rolling out the red carpet’ for robotaxis, threatens to maybe leave town::In his first major public interview since the DMV cut their San Francisco fleet in half, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt said “we cannot expect perfection” from the self-driving cars, and vaguely threatened to leave town if regulators curtail them any further.

Cruise already creating huge traffic deadlocks in Texas as their cars stop in the middle of the intersections

Where do they operate in Texas? I go all over the state regularly, but I don't usually go to the downtown areas where I would probably encounter one.

Downtown Austin. I bet if they leave SF, they'll move their entire fleet to Austin, which is terrible news.

Now I'm imagining a giant caravan of self driving cars going down the interstate. Known how well they perform, we'll see them either blocking the left lane, or all lanes.
