Sophia Tung of San Francisco, California, recently shared her unsettling experience while riding in an Apollo Go robotaxi during her trip to Shenzhen, China. Describing the ride as a "nightmare," Tung recounted a tense moment when the autonomous vehicle had a near miss with another car on the road.
According to Tung, the situation escalated quickly, prompting the safety driver to intervene and take control of the vehicle to avoid a potential accident. This incident raised concerns about the reliability and safety of autonomous vehicles, particularly in bustling urban environments like Shenzhen.
