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.

    They aren’t wrong…when has any company seriously given up on profits.

    People don’t have to be nice when you’re being clueless. They also didn’t insult you…I did though.

      About 10 years ago the Canadian federal government dropped and/or eliminated duty tariffs on hockey and other sports equipment in order to encourage families to get their kids to participate in organized sports. More kids in organized sports would hopefully keep kids out of trouble, and encourage a healthier lifestyle. Guess what, retailers kept the cost of the equipment the same and pocketed the savings of now not having to pay duty tariffs on jockey skates coming from China and other overseas manufacturers.
