Waymo’s self-driving cars are nuisance at night, San Francisco residents: What to do?

【ITBEAR】According to news on August 12, recently, a parking lot in San Francisco caused dissatisfaction among surrounding residents due to noise problems at night. This parking lot is rented by Waymo, a self-driving taxi company, for parking vehicles that do not operate at night.

1. Waymo has gradually taken over the parking lot starting from July 28.

2. With Waymo’s driverless taxi service opening up to all San Francisco residents, the number of vehicles returning to parking lots at night has increased significantly.

3. The live broadcast shows that the time period when driverless taxis return to the parking lot in large numbers is:

   • Every Sunday to Thursday from 7pm to 9pm
   • Friday and Saturday from 11pm to midnight

     

     However, nearby residents are troubled. When the parking lot is nearly full (usually around 4 a.m.), a Waymo self-driving taxi enters the parking lot, triggering an hour-long "honking carnival" and seriously affecting the normal life of residents. .

     

     In the face of complaints from residents, Waymo Company responded that they are aware of this problem and are actively looking for a solution. The company said that the vehicleoccasionally whistles when navigating in the parking lot, and they have now found the cause of this problem.

Although Waymo Company is taking measures to solve the problem, the continued noise has caused considerable disruption to the lives of surrounding residents. Although software engineer Sophia Tung is interested in driverless technology, she also believes that the horn problem needs to be solved as soon as possible to protect the quality of life of residents.
