Waymo's robotaxis have started occupying a new San Francisco lot at night. Nearby residents are finding the self-driving cars honk, for some reason, at each other, often waking them up.
When Waymo's robotaxis started occupying a parking lot next to Randol White's San Francisco apartment building, he was initially glad to see the self-driving cars. Compared to the sometimes rowdy crowds that had parked there for Giants games, White thought the Waymo vehicles could be the perfect neighbor. 'Until they started honking,' he said.
' White, who lives in San Francisco's South of Market, or SoMa, neighborhood, said he's reached out to Waymo asking for them to remedy the situation, but hasn't yet heard any response. The company, in response to an inquiry from The Times, said that it was 'aware that in some scenarios our vehicles may briefly honk while navigating our parking lots.
