But one anti-car group, Safe Street Rebel, isn't letting this happen without a fight.
Over the past few days, the band of roving activists have taken to the streets of San Francisco (by bicycle, of course) to protest driverless cars by using orange traffic cones to stop them in their tracks. When a cone is placed on the hood of a driverless car, the vehicles halt and flick on their hazard lights, seemingly paralysed by the obstruction. After all, there's no one in the cars who can come out and knock the cones off.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
