Two Cruise taxis delayed an ambulance carrying a car accident victim to a hospital, a department report said. The company said it was not at fault.

Two Cruise driverless taxis blocked an ambulance carrying a critically injured patient who later died at a hospital, a San Francisco Fire Department report said, in another incident involving self-driving cars in the city.

On Aug. 14, two Cruise autonomous vehicles were stopped in the right two lanes of a four-lane, one-way street in the SoMa neighborhood, where the victim was found, according to the department report. It said that a police vehicle in another lane had to be moved in order for the ambulance to leave.

    Right. Until you need to carry something or go grocery shopping.

    Sorry, you’re wrong. Small towns absolutely need to use cars unless they want to go back to being hunter/gatherers.

            Yeah. Around here some people live at least 30 minutes from their nearest grocery store.

            And that’s by car.

                there’s no reason for amenities to be dependent upon driving

                Except for the surrounding people that use cars to reach them.

                    I don’t think you know what constitutes a ‘small town.’

                    You can live in a small town and still be 30 minutes away from a grocery store, which is located in a different town.

                    Might want to drive around the US a bit more. It seems your idea of life outside of major cities is skewed based on your own, limited experience.
