Woah you're being pretty misleading!

That's for a separated bike lane, and Waymo doesn't even seem capable of doing it: that'd typically involve driving over/between the plastic bollards separating the lane...

Waymo doesn't seem to be willing to drive on the wrong side of bollards and I've never seen a taxi do it either.

For non-separated bike lanes it's still a last resort, but it's allowed for all passengers not just the disabled.

>  May enter a non-separated bike lane with caution to drop off all customers (disabled and non-disabled)  Using bike lanes as an absolutely last resort [emphasis theirs, not mine]

Waymo doesn't seem to do it when there are other options close nearby either, given the gaps in allowed pick up/drop off locations they offer by bike lanes

It would seem you're intentionally misstating the situation to villainize the driverless vehicles that otherwise l generally respect riders more than anyone else on the road...

Actually weirdly enough, you had to read what I wrote to post this right?

This is the same training doc you used? https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-docume...

Sperated bike lanes are illustrated and come after what I quoted :/
