AutoExec Summary
Waymo robotaxis have been quietly operating in San Francisco until recently when they began honking at each other in the wee hours of the night. San Francisco resident Randol White, who lives next to the Waymo carpark, has been woken up by the constant noise. He reached out to Waymo for a solution, but has received no response. Waymo acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. Despite the noise, White still supports Waymo and appreciates their safety as a cyclist. However, Waymo has faced scrutiny for incidents involving their robotaxis, including collisions with vehicles, a cyclist, and the death of a dog. Protesters have even torched self-driving taxis in the city.
