We Rode Through SF in Cruise’s Driverless Car. Here’s How It Went

Written by Mike KubaVideo by Mike KubaPublished Dec. 02, 2022 • 7:00am

A few lucky San Franciscans can now hail Cruise’s driverless taxi in the city, so we wanted to test out the experience for ourselves. It was a hilarious ride: We chased down our Cruise car, sat at countless red lights (even when signaling for a right turn), played trivia and got stuck behind an idling truck. But most importantly, we made it to our destination safely—which is what you’d ultimately hope for from a driverless ride.
