Driverless taxis blocked ambulance response to fatal accident, San Francisco Fire Dept. says::Two Cruise taxis delayed an ambulance carrying a car accident victim to a hospital, a department report said. The company said it was not at fault.
If i was an ambo driver, a self driving car would block be for about 2.5 seconds
Maybe that’s why you aren’t an ambo driver :-)
I’d be great for business !
That sounds like an extremely safe and not at all horribly dangerous to a significant number of people thing to do in the middle of a city.
you watch too much tv.
I am gonna guess you have some half baked action movie shit in your mind about just ramming it? And then the ambulance just…drives away?
if to save a life I would (no doubt) gently push that stupid car out of the way. Wouldn’t you ?
exactly.
seems like everyone imagines im bruce willis, zooming down market street, swerving to avoiding gunfire, with some poor soul on stretcher being dragged behind the ambulance at 90mph .
I guess you and I know more about mechanics than the average person 👍

lol. You don’t know much about mechanics… do you ? And ambulance is a truck and it is heavy. You would be right if the vehicle to be pushed away was not so light. Anyway, you can feel it when you start to push how the vehicles reacts.
another one with the hollywood imagination. give it some thought.
and I’m gonna guess you imagine me driving an ambulance at 50 miles per hour and send the robocabs skittling into a crowd, when the boring reality is that they could be safely push out of the way.
I was thinking about the “japanese motorcycle repair kit” :-) (but only thinking, of course)
