Wow, now they really do think they are gods

By Tim Redmond

FEB, 13, 2014 — It’s not enough for the Google buses to park in Muni stops. Now they’re parking in the middle of the street.

In the middle of Valencia. Where people park when they’re going to church on Sunday. Which is its own problem, but at least even the religion-loving parking authorities don’t let the Holy and Righteous use the median on busy weekday mornings.

Now Google apparently thinks its buses should be treated as objects of worship. No tickets.
