I can't believe there's an actual place where these driverless death machines have been let loose on the public.

afaik the entire Bay Area is a proving ground for every useless private venture that wants to cannibalize public space
Useless? I'm sure the executive's bank accounts are put to plenty of use
There's this deranged country that stopped caring about a plague that's killed at least a million of their people, don't know if you've heard of such a place
Only in hushed and embarrassed whispers.
bazingaland.
The place is China.
wait really? 😒
This is the company that three years ago, the big Youtube channel Veritasium did a huge sponsored video on. He made statements during (and afterwards outside the video) essentially implying anyone against driverless cars was an objective idiot.
Yeah, that video made me realize he was a total sellout
If it's being advertised on Youtube, it's bullshit.
Also
The fire takes place against the backdrop of simmering tension between San Francisco residents and automated vehicle operators. The California DMV suspended Waymo rival Cruise’s robotaxi operations after one of its cars struck and dragged a pedestrian last year, and prior to that, automated taxis had caused chaos in the city, blocking traffic or crashing into a fire truck.
Wow so this was legit community defense against tech bro bullshit, love to see that people won't allow themselves to be used like test driving manikins by sociopaths!
opening salvo in the butlerian jihad?

not only was it driverless it was a luxury brand. bang up job.
smash the mechanical exoskeleton to get at the soft flesh of the bourgoisie
A great action:
- Documented public safety issue.
- Prominent example of "if I did this shit (reckless driving) I'd get arrested but it's a big company so it's allowed."
- No material benefit to the participants, which cuts down on openings for opportunists/accusations of opportunism.
- No worker is directly involved on the receiving end.
- Accurately identified a target of real public ire.
- Minimal inconvenience to ordinary people.
6.9 get to smash a car that belongs to some capitalist
sounds like this is community defense, love to see it
Absolutely fucking BASED
SF enters the cool zone
:ned-ludd-shining:
This is great but it would be even more great if they took their rage out on the politicians who greenlit testing this bullshit on public roads to begin with.
Baby steps. You start small and work up.
Normally when SF wins or loses a national sports championship, it's a Muni bus, so I consider this a huge improvement.
Loving this arg promo for the new dune movie.
This is infinitely more intersting than that sleep dust empty void husk equivalent of watching already dried paint insult of a film.
I recently learned that Lynch really didn't like the final version of his Dune and I really wish I could see what he would have come up with if he'd been able to do more.
Also, I want to see Michael Kirkbride's Dune.
YES
KILL
Great work
Now THIS is activism!!
