On Thursday, California regulators voted in favor of expanding robotaxi services across the city.
On Thursday, regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission voted 3-to-1 in favor of greenlighting the expansion of robotaxi services across the entirety of San Francisco.
This signaled their confidence in the safety of driverless vehicles for more than 800,000 citizens.
It is this that will linger in the minds of San Francisco's residents as robotaxis go mainstream in the city.
This does, of course, pale in comparison with the number of accidents that take place daily in regular vehicles, but it highlights challenges for driverless vehicles nonetheless.
