According to foreign media reports, autonomous driving company Waymo recently began to use a parking lot as the base for its driverless taxi fleet.
However, nearby residents said they are often awakened by the constant honking of these cars.
, Photo source: Waymo, it is reported that when Waymo driverless cars return to the parking lot every night, the vehicles often interfere with each other and then whistle each other.
This caused great trouble to residents near the parking lot and disturbed their sleep.
Resident Randol White, 57, admitted: “I can’t go down and talk to them because they are driverless taxis.
This is the most frustrating thing.
You can only shout into the air angrily.
“, Randol White and other neighbors thought the driverless car parked here would be quieter than the baseball fans who gathered before and after a San Francisco Giants game.
Randol White said: “At first, I found it interesting that these cars honking each other’s horns were funny, but I don’t find it funny anymore.
” At the same time, software engineer Sophia Tung, whose bedroom is downstairs, set up a 24-hour live broadcast to show viewers the status of the self-driving taxi parking lot downstairs.
There are also several videos on her YouTube channel showing congestion in some driverless cars captured by her camera in just a few days.
Sophia Tung said that if a self-driving car could stop honking, she would enjoy watching the car run on its own.
She also said tiredly at the end of a video: “It’s 4 o’clock in the morning, and the vehicle is still honking, help me!” Waymo revealed in an Aug.
