“Waymo spokesperson Julia Ilina told SFGate the company has avoided direct pickups and drop-offs on Market Street because the designated areas would require vehicles to double park, potentially blocking transit. “Unlike human drivers, we make significant efforts to park appropriately during pick up and drop off,” Ilina said.”

There has never been a more blatant lie. I see Waymos double park *all the fucking time*. They especially love to double park while also blocking bike lanes. In fact, I would go so far as to say, I’ve *rarely* ever seen a Waymo loading or unloading while not double parked.
