These sound like expected growing pains for such complex software, and that there are rapid and effective iterations in progress. I salute SF and its residents for putting up with this and suffering such delays, making a sacrifice that improves it for the rest of us. Their tolerance will eventually save lives as well as improving mobility all over.

I just hope that they will continue to extend that tolerance to still allowing human drivers for a long time after automated ones are more safe. It's almost inevitable that there will be a story like this someday about the hazards of letting humans disable their auto-pilot.



It is tragic and foul for technology to make things worse in this way, IMO.

The bus- / train-riders have no choice in the matter.

It adds hours onto the driver's day.

It's a shame the mitigation takes as long as the article claims it does.
