However, there is an important voice against these vehicles among people who complain about the numerous cases of vehicles that malfunction and stop in the middle of the street, blocking transportation in the city.

According to a report from the Techcrunch page, Cruise and Waymo currently offer limited payment services in San Francisco, either due to service hours or because the presence of a human security operator is included.

And for the attention of the residents of San Francisco, both companies have indicated that they would expand gradually, in order to promote the public interest and guarantee safe, reliable and affordable services.

The truth is that there is a lot of interest in this technology. The same companies have invested several million dollars in the tests.
