I have found that the self driving cars actually do yield to me in the crosswalk, which is nice. Contrast to human drivers who will try to run me over because I need to “get out of the street” while crossing . Parked vehicles block emergency vehicles countless times daily… but you don’t hear about that shit do you? Also SFFD park their emergency vehicles on the tram tracks when they don’t need to. Delaying thousands of commuters, all while letting people in cars go past the accident scene unhindered. SF is at war with its transit riders. SF is corrupt. It takes 7 fucking years to remove one parking spot. There’s so much more to this shit saga.
I have also found this to be true. What I don't like is that there is no way to be certain that they do see you.
As a pedestrian/cyclist, it is very easy to see if the driver sees you/doesn't see you. And cross accordingly.
Self driving cars, you simply have to hope and pray while you cross.
