A nightly Waymo robotaxi parking lot honkfest is waking San Francisco neighbors
- cs702 2y agoToo many Waymo robotaxis arrive at the overnight parking lot at around the same time, after their shift, creating congestion in the parking lot. It takes those robotaxis around an hour to self-park, during which they're moving forward, then backward, breaking, flashing blinkers, beeping, honking, etc. Each would be able to park quickly if it weren't for the other robotaxis. The noise, lights, and commotion keep neighbors awake. Make sure to watch the video ("it's f@#king 4am"). Douglas Adams would have gotten a kick out of this.

- crest 2y agoWaymo should be punished at least as harsh as a single driver honking away every night.

- MaximilianEmel 2y agoI really cannot understand why they do not just run "on-rails" (with some A.I. e-stop) while in the lot. It's an almost-completely controlled environment, so there's not much benefit for training or testing.
