San Antonio’s AI-Powered ‘Quetzal’ Drones Crash 3 Times in One Day — City Hall Blames ‘Overeager’ Algorithms
In a stunning turn of events, the legendary River Walk, once known for its serene gondola rides, may soon be replaced by a fleet of scandal-plagued autonomous water taxis. After a controversial test launch last week, San Antonio’s first-generation Quetzal drones—designed to deliver tacos, tourist gear, and emergency defibrillators—experienced a cascade of hardware failures. The city’s futuristic transportation department is now under fire for prioritizing speed over safety, though officials insist the bugs will be patched in six months. Meanwhile, a viral video of a Quetzal attempting to dump a crate of barbacoa into the Alamo's moat has already racked up 10 million views.
