    Cruise driverless cars block San Francisco street after 'TEN'
    of the vehicles suffered Wi-Fi failures 'caused by music festival'

    Cruise, an autonomous car company encountered a setback that
    brought traffic to a standstill in the city, just one day after
    they increased their presence in SF

    . . .

    And we thought it was only dead dopeheads blocking
    the streets .....

    In any case, it's now very clear these "autonomous"
    vehicles aren't REALLY autonomous - ie the "IQ" is
    not actually built IN to them. They rely on high-
    speed wi-fi to connect with a 'central brain'.

    Alas, wi-fi has never been particularly reliable ...
