SAN FRANCISCO — At the end of a crowded public hearing Thursday that included nearly six hours of public testimony, state regulators voted to allow two autonomous vehicle companies to operate driverless taxis 24 hours a day and deploy an unlimited number of vehicles in San Francisco.

"We're incredibly grateful for this vote of confidence from the CPUC, and to the communities and riders who have supported our service. While the approval represents a benchmark for autonomous vehicle innovators that have been working for years to perfect driverless cars that rely on high tech sensors and advanced software programs to "see" other vehicles and potential hazards while navigating roadways, pushback on the decision came from multiple quarters, including San Francisco first responders who cited numerous issues they've encountered with driverless vehicles in the northern California city.
