DESCRIPTION:8/23/23 Press Conference: Health and Safety Emergency In SF RoboTaxi Press 
 Conference At Cruise Lot\nSHUT THEM DOWN NOW!\nWednesday August 23, 2023 
 10:30 AM\n530 10th St/Bryant St Next To Costco\nSan Francisco, CA\nThe 
 continuing dangers and threats to health and safety emergency  on the 
 streets of \nSan Francisco require that the City of San Francisco shutdown 
 these Robo-Taxis run  by GM’s Cruise and Google’s Waymo. Already two 
 accidents in one night took place including a robotaxi with a passenger 
 hitting a fire truck. This is mayhem in San Francisco and imagine an 
 earthquake with these vehicles on the road.\nThey are a catastrophe waiting 
 to happen as the \nSan Francisco  Fire Chief has said yet Mayor London 
 Breed welcomed the CPUC decision and Governor  Gavin Newsom took $10 
 million  from Googe in 2020.\nWho are they representing,  the tech 
 billionaires or the people of San Francisco? AI and \ntechnology should  
 benefit the working people and public instead of the billionaires  who 
 really run the CPUC and the Governor's office.\nThe San Francisco Police 
 also could also immediately impound the cars since they are violating many 
 vehicular codes every hour of every day that they are on the road. \nDO WE 
 HAVE TO WAIT FOR A DISASTER!\nThe Newsom hand picked California Public 
 Utilitiy Commission with a former Cruise lawyer\nJohn Arnold and the  DMV 
 has said that these companies will regulate themselves and under their 
 logic the people of  San Francisco are guinea pigs for the testing of AI 
 and the development of these autonomous vehicles.  \nThey are also saying 
 the vehicular code is not bing enforced on these robotaxis and they have to 
 take no tests as drivers do.\nThis AI technology  will also destroy the 
 taxi industry, bleed public transit and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs 
 but Newsom and the CPUC is not interested in the cost to working people 
 with the introduction of AI vehicles.\nThe shutdown of ten Cruise cars in 
 North Beach on Friday August 11 was also blamed  on the Overland Festival 
 by Cruise which they charged slowed cell usage so they could not operate. 
 When Waymo killed a dog they blamed the dog.\nWe cannot afford to wait for 
 someone to be seriously injured or killed  because of another \nroad 
 blockage or accident of these robotaxis. \nThey are out of Control and Need 
 to Be SHUTDOWN NOW!\n\nPress Conference initiated by\nUnited Front
