It's insane that they need permits for 8 cars that have humans driving them in 2025, when they're already fully automated in SF.

Clearly not.

It's not insane for cities to permit autonomous vehicle technology. They permit almost every other type of heavy machinery. Even manually driven cars are permitted! (Driver's license test, registration fees, etc.)
