This is bad for both SF Fire Department, and Cruise.
Cruise's business is in an area where human life can easily be impacted. This incident, regardless of fault, reminds us of that. It suggests the need for over cautiousness, and American business is not known for that. So Cruise will face enthusiastic critique for its entire existence.
SFFD sounds like it's made a mistake, and it too is in the life or death "business". So it will receive an unpleasant audit for this incident.
Overall the public is losing, it seems, as this is too chaotic and unsafe a system to be allowed. So we must now step in and regulate.
- Hydraulix989 3y agoRemember, the pedestrian was originally struck by a human driver. No matter how much statistically safer Cruise is than human drivers, there will always be an unfair press scrutiny on individual incidents amid Luddite backlash. We already see this with EV battery fires, despite how much safer and less frequent they are than fires with combustible petrol vehicles.
