That looks like a badly secured construction zone to me. Stuff like this certainly happens to human drivers.

Yeah unless the car went blasting through a barrier I’m not sure we can blame “AI” on this one.

The whole point is being better than a human and they’re demonstrably not.

they’re demonstrably not

Wait.. how did you arrive at this conclusion? Humans do this kind of thing all the time, too. You'd have to know the relative rates of accidents and mishaps to say with any confidence that they're "demonstrably" not better than humans.

Why look at overall statistics when you can cherry pick single instances to prove your point. /s

well, they should have posted a link to the Cruise Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(autonomous_vehicle) because what I read from regulation and incidents proves his point. The city requesting no expansion to permits, 39 incidents between January and June 2023 blocking fire department operations alone. And that is just within their limited time permits.
