2024-08-13

Waymo self-driving cars in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood reportedly began honking at each other late at night, disturbing residents' sleep. The autonomous vehicles, reportedly using a parking lot for ride pauses, triggered honking due to a purported glitch in their algorithms. Despite residents' complaints, the issue allegedly persisted for weeks until Waymo acknowledged the problem and began working on a fix.
