San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie will soon allow Waymo robotaxis on Market Street, a move intended to revitalize the downtown artery, though it will also bring car traffic to an area where private automobiles remain banned.

Christopher White, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition said that if Lurie wants Market Street to reclaim its "rightful place as a commercial and cultural destination," the city should prioritize safe, affordable ways of travel such as walking, biking and transit.

Autonomous vehicles from Waymo will soon be rolling down Market Street in San Francisco, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday.
