A semi truck backed into it. If anything this just highlights to me how much commercial vehicles need self driving tech (I guess I, lamely, agree with the mayor). My office used to be in an industrial district. The trucks there scare me. They absolutely do not follow the rules of the road, and it's dangerous for everybody around them. Stuff like this: just backing up and expecting everybody to move out of their way, or taking a turn too tight and expecting everybody at the light to back up, were almost daily occurrences. Yeah, self drivers need to account for this, but the bigger problem IMHO is getting those trucks and their drivers either off of the road or in compliance with driving laws.
