I have personally witnessed multiple occasions where Cruise vehicles have completely obstructed intersections. In one instance, as a Muni bus was making a left-hand turn onto a busy street, a Cruise vehicle pulled forward into the intersection (from the direction the bus was turning toward) blocking the bus from completing its turn. As bus drivers cannot—in general operation—go in reverse, the only solution to this was for the Cruise vehicle to back up or to exit the intersection to its right and allowing the intersection to become unwedged. Unfortunately, without any real motivation to do otherwise, the Cruise vehicle was seemingly willing to wait patiently until the heat death of the universe for the problem to remedy itself. I watched for fifteen minutes as the intersection was completely wedged due to this situation, while the bus driver and others attempted unsuccessfully to convince the Cruise to do anything to fix the problem. I eventually left. I have no idea how long it was before someone at Cruise managed to get the car to move, but it highlighted for me how many situations in traffic require impromptu and improvised coordination between drivers in order to keep things moving.
