Crash in California – Robotaxi collided with fire truck

Date:

San Francisco has been a testing ground for self-driving taxis since last week. Because despite resistance from the municipal transport company and some residents who were concerned about safety, the California regulator gave CPUC the green light for use. But after just a few days, the California Department of Transportation is investigating “concerning incidents.” On Thursday, a robotaxi collided with a fire truck.

“One of our vehicles pulled into the intersection when the traffic light was green and was hit by an emergency vehicle that appeared to be on its way to an emergency,” Cruise said on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The DMV has now asked Cruise to immediately reduce her active fleet by half until the investigation is complete.

“The DMV reserves the right to suspend or revoke testing and/or deployment permits following an investigation of the matter,” the agency said in a statement. The lone passenger in the self-driving vehicle was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Firefighting operations hindered
This should by no means be an isolated case. Because the San Francisco Fire Department is aware of several disabilities during ongoing operations caused by robotic taxis. Commander Jeanine Nicholson mentioned blocked fire department exits, driving through cordoned off areas and traffic jams to broadcaster NBC in this regard.
