Wapo journalist verifies that robotaxis fail to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalk 7 out of 10 times. Waymo admitted that it follows “social norms” rather than laws.
The reason is likely to compete with Uber, 🤦

Speaking as someone who lives and walks in sf daily, they’re still more courteous to pedestrians then drivers and I’d be happy if they replaced human drivers in the city. I’d be happier if we got rid of all the cars but I’ll take getting rid of the psychopaths blowing through intersections.
