That translates into 1,072 workers that will be out of a job after the company said it would undertake a “restructuring” to reduce operating costs. These layoffs come after the beleaguered ridehail company laid off 13 percent of staff last November. Lyft’s May 4th first quarter earnings call are sure to be brutal.

The latest “San Francisco residents hate all these robotaxis” dispatch just dropped, and it’s starting to seem that the complaints largely stem from our collective wish that autonomous vehicles would bend the everyday traffic rules that we, as humans, do everyday.

Maybe if the robot cars weren’t such fussy rule-followers we would like them more. Just saying.
