But the vans have trouble making left turns. The software in the cars gets tripped up by certain safety issues, especially when there is no green arrow for left turns, an unnamed source told The Information.

The Chrysler vans, which would pick up and drop off passengers in Arizona, would be ideally monitored remotely, rather than with a "safety" driver, The Information reported. But the software in the cars reportedly gets tripped up by certain safety issues, especially when there is no green arrow for left turns.
