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.
Please, please, please leave town.
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.
He already tried the leave but someone had put a come on the front of the car and it refused to move
You MUST DEMAND perfection from self driving cars. Mistakes cost lives.
Fuck this guy.
I don’t really know how you can threaten someone when you need them more than they need you.
If you leave town, where are you going to go? The city doesn’t need you. If you’re not making what you want/need here, go ahead, leave, the city won’t be hurt by it. You will, though. Because you’ll have to pack up your business, set it up somewhere else, and hope that they do the things you want them to. It’ll be expensive for you, won’t mean a thing to the city.
So how is it a threat?
If they keep up the conceited attitude of taking this for granted I wouldn’t be surprised to see SF local elections going to whichever candidate promises to be tougher on robo taxi betas roaming a city of 3.3 million, then where will your red cerpet be? The residents already hate you.
So you have a bunch of 3,000 lb autonomous missiles cruising around town and you think we shouldn’t accept perfection? Lmao
Do it!
