fears what could happen when a major fire or other life-threatening emergency breaks out with multiple robotaxis blocking the way.

Don't they have laws that all vehicles must make way etc.? Aren't these Borg vehicles required to follow laws?

Cruise blamed cellphone carriers for the problem.

Real world always has some connectivity problems somewhere. These vehicles must be able to deal with it.

It means simply that these vehicles are not ready to run in the real world. Goto junkyard.
