Thursday December 14th 10:00 AM
CPUC McAllister and Van Ness
San Francisco
The action by the California Public Utility Commission to allow Cruise to operate in San Francisco and California was a deadly threat to the people of San Francisco and the State.
We demand the immediate removal of Commission John Arnold who worked for Cruise as an attorney for years before being appointed to the CPUC by Governor Newsom. The fact that he did not recuse himself should be cause for his removal and the support of his action by Governor Newsom shows the role of our governor and who he works for.
The CPUC has kowtowed to Cruise and the rest of these AI Robo-taxi companies as has the DMV. Newsom’s DMV has not only allowed the Robo taxis to self regulate their operations but has allowed Musk to operate the autopilot on Tesla’s as it tests it AI on the public as guinea pigs. The deaths of pedestrians, passengers and drivers is a direct result of the corporate capture of these agencies.
The CPUC has shown again and again with criminal PG&E and other corporations that it is a tool of the corporations that it is supposed to regulate. Under Governor Gavin Newsom and former Governor Jerry Brown this agency commissioners has take money from these regulated companies and do their bidding.
SF District Attorney Brook Jenkins also refuses to prosecute the criminal cover-up of the Cruise incident in November where Cruise ran over an injured pedestrian. She like Newsom is apparently doing damage control to these corporate criminals who run Cruise. If a driver tried to cover up an accident he or she would be arrested but apparently these execs are above the law for Jenkins.
CPUC hearing is scheduled for 11:00 AM and speakers will address the CPUC
