Regulators approve expansion of SF driverless car service

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:09 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California regulators on Thursday approved an expansion of citywide robotaxi service in San Francisco, despite reservations from city officials and residents after incidents in which unmanned vehicles have blocked traffic, including the path of emergency vehicles.The state’s Public Utilities Commission voted to approve rival services from Cruise and Waymo to operate around-the-clock service. It will make San Francisco first major U.S. city with two fleets of driverless vehicles competing for passengers against ride-hailing and taxi services dependent on humans to operate the cars.It’s a distinction San Francisco officials didn’t want, largely because of the headaches that Cruise and Waymo have been causing in the city while testing their robotaxis on a restricted basis during the past year.This is a developing story.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies first baseman/designated hitter Bryce Harper left Thursday night’s game against the Washington Nationals with what the team called mid-back spasms.The Phillies said that Harper was undergoing additional evaluation.Harper was originally credited with an error on a Dominic Smith grounder in the fourth inning when he went to field a ball that hit the first base bag, then bounced off his chest.
