Swarm of malfunctioning driverless taxis brings traffic to a halt for hours

More than a dozen autonomous vehicles operated by driverless car company Cruise in San Francisco came to a halt for around two hours before employees made it to the scene on Wednesday.

The company has not revealed what caused the vehicles to stop or why multiple cars suffered the fault at the same place. Several were stationary at the entrance to the crossroad junction, while others were stopped at the exit.

The AI is testing our limits

More than ever NOW is the time to remember our heritage and continue the struggle of our predecessors to ensure this Republic endures.

That struggle involves every generation and must NEVER be abandoned. Throughout our history we have met and prevailed over issues even more serious and we have an unbroken record of success.

It's perfectly acceptable to acknowledge the gravity of this battle, but we must NOT let despair overcome us.

We cannot quit.
