SF in Turmoil: Waymo Recall, Hidden Treasure, and a Grateful Dead Concert?
San Francisco News Roundup: Waymo Recall, Treasure Hunt, and Dead & Company Concert San Francisco is buzzing with a mix of technological glitches, intriguing mysteries, and exciting entertainment news. Waymo, the autonomous vehicle company, has issued a recall for over 1,200 self-driving cars after more than a dozen minor collisions with barriers and gates. "Waymo said it's aware of at least 16 collisions that happened between 2022 and 2024," reports Diana San Juan, digital producer and correspondent for NBC Bay Area. The company claims to have since released a software update to rectify the issue. Adding to the city's intrigue, a social media post promises a $10,000 treasure hunt, with clues hinting at iconic San Francisco landmarks. Separately, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie proposed a three-day Dead & Company concert series in Golden Gate Park to celebrate the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary, potentially drawing up to 60,000 people daily and generating over $30 million for the city. "This is just a proposal," San Juan clarifies, "but if approved, the concert series will take place from August 1st to the 3rd."
