As much as I endure the spirit of these cars helping people, San Francisco is not the place to test this.
I realize Cruise started in SF and they want that SF startup vibe for hiring, but SF was not designed for this.
Test the cars elsewhere in suburbia and leave densely populated, narrow streets for later conquests.
Larger cities with wider roads are better suited. Once the reputation of the cars being successful, it’ll work it’s way into denser areas like SF and NYC.

Ergo Uber and now Cruise. You don’t need Cruise in the suburbs, everybody has a car and parking is convenient.
