This Thursday, the CUPC is being asked to override the concerns of the city of San Francisco and expand this barely regulated program, giving the city no power to control the experiment these corporations are inflicting on us.
Even if you're pro AV, you're probably imagining an AV subject to regulations, made for the benefit of the public. That's not what we're getting right now. In fact, they’re trying to push ahead and expand before any regulations can be written.
This is why we're doing this now, the week before the CUPC hearing:
