Why the safety features of self-driving cars are making passengers “sitting ducks” for angry protesters

Why the safety features of self-driving cars are making passengers “sitting ducks” for angry protesters

Published by Parlour News

In January, Doug Fulop was riding home from a night out in San Francisco when a man crossed the street in front of his car, doubled back and began screaming at him. The man punched the car’s windows and tried lifting up the vehicle. He then yelled that he wanted to kill Fulop and the other two passengers for giving money to a robot. A taxi driver would have simply driven away. But Fulop’s vehicle had no driver — it was a self-driving Waymo. “We felt helpless,” said Fulop, 37, who works in the tech industry. Since autonomous cars started roaming San Francisco streets almost four years ago, they have elicited an array of reactions from humans, including angry protests against the vehicles. That has created an unexpected hazard for passengers of self-driving cars all around the city: being stuck inside the vehicle during an anti-robot rant. Self-driving cars are designed to stop moving if a person is nearby. People can take advantage of that function to harass and threaten their passengers. In 2024, a …
