Making people wait for your bugfix/code change/deploy cycle when your little bug is unilaterally intruding on their lives and disrupting their sleep? This is just callous and irresponsible.
They really should have a procedure for immediately rerouting robo-traffic when problems like this occur, or just blocking off an area immediately when something like this is reported. I'm surprised something like that isn't part of the legal hurdles for getting a robo-taxi service approved.
Even in the current legal framework they have to be violating some sort of noise ordinance. (Speaking of which, can police not just stop and tow robo-taxis that are causing a disturbance? Shouldn't there be a mechanism for that, too?)
I wonder how many issues like this will need to happen before there's any legislation to make companies more responsible for the autonomous robots they deploy (what a sci-fi sentence!)
