The latest outrage over driverless cars, reports that two cruise cars blocked an ambulance in San Francisco delaying the trip and the patient died soon after arriving at the hospital. Well have more on that in a minute, but todays protests hit on safety concerns and other issues involving driverless cars. Just as the protest was kicking off, loud music started playing from inside cruise headquarters drowning out the sound of the protesters. Yeah, that is the sound of the popular mexican tv show called el chavo. The music eventually stopped after organizers talked with cruise security. Demonstrators had a list of concerns. They say theyre protesting on labor day to protect drivers who could lose their jobs.

The Fire Department report said it happened on august 14th that a pedestrian had been injured in the street and was bleeding profusely. It said the only open lanes were blocked by two cruise vehicles that had stopped in the roadway. It said this delay no matter how minimal contributed to a poor patient outcome. In any significant dramatic event, time is of the essence to transport the patient to definitive care in order to give them the best possible chance at survival. It went on to say the patient died in the emergency room 20 to 30 minutes after arrival and calls this unacceptable. Cruise sent out a statement disputing the whole thing saying the ambulance behind the av had a clear path to pass the av. As soon as the victim was loaded into the ambulance, the ambulance left the scene immediately and was never impeded from doing so by the av. Earlier today cruise indicated it would release a video of this incident but then declined to do so later. This all comes two weeks after the California PublicUtilities Commission approved the expansion of robo taxi service. The city of San Francisco is asking for that rollout to be suspended.
