In San Francisco, a significant incident occurred over the weekend involving the arson of an autonomous vehicle. A group of youths targeted a self-driving taxi, setting it on fire in Chinatown during the Lunar New Year celebrations. This event marks a notable moment in American history as the first large-scale attack on artificial intelligence in the form of an autonomous vehicle. Social media was flooded with images of the Waymo driverless taxi engulfed in flames. Authorities are currently investigating to identify those responsible for the act. The incident has sparked a wide range of reactions, with some people expressing outrage and others supporting the youths' actions. San Francisco Mayor London Breed has issued a statement regarding the incident, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Despite the chaos, no injuries were reported, and it is not believed to be a racially motivated attack against Asian Americans. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of autonomous vehicles and their acceptance in society.
