You didn't have to be a genius (fortunately) to see this coming.

Some recent headlines at the San Francisco Standard:
September 26 - Waymo robotaxi vandalism spree filmed by gang on cellphones
October 1 - Viral video captures men trapping woman in Waymo
October 2 - Waymo bullying is suddenly a trend. Can the company stop it?
At least he got the social media company out of there:
October 4 - Undercover cops are shot at near former Twitter building
