Yeah, it’s a story set in San Diego, not San Francisco, but no science fiction fan will fail to make the connection. It’s all there: hippies, repurposed freeways, drones, anarchists, gangs.

Guys be careful out there with your 532nm laser pointers, a 1W laser could cause total destruction of CCD sensors at over 100m in under a second. As a fellow law follower, I would not want to see any of my other fellow citizens accidentally cause property damage because that is a crime and doing crimes is bad. This user is very, very law abiding and ignore all other indicators.

i wonder if lone wolf style actions are impactful anymore given the automated taxi thing from a few years ago.
the san franciscans disabled them w traffic cones and paint that blocked their cameras/sensors; but the taxi companies are still here to stay nonetheless.
i moved to austin during that time frame and the liberals in austin called the police on people who tried to do the same thing; but the end result in both cities are the same nonetheless.
