This is (obviously) edited to highlight the car handling tricky situations, but I recently had a rather negative interaction with Cruise.
It was around 16th and Rhode Island in Potrero. The road opens up to a very wide two lane lane road. We came up behind the cruise car at this point, and the Cruise car slowed way down and basically rolled down the street in the middle of the road at 5 miles an hour. The driver in my car tailgated the Cruise car down the block until we got to a stop sign, and then the Cruise car stopped for way to long, and then we drove around them. We were the only car on the road and it was fairly dark.
It looked a bit like the car didn't have confidence to decisively move forward and the resulting action was to limp along. It's definitely tough to get the response right in this situation but I wasn't impressed with the mitigation strategy. You'd think the car would at least pull off to the side of the road if it didn't know what to do.
