Waymo Cars Disrupt San Francisco Neighborhood

News summary

Residents of a San Francisco neighborhood have been disturbed by incessant honking from Waymo's self-driving cars, which began approximately two weeks ago. The honking, triggered by the cars' collision-avoidance software, often occurred in the early morning hours, waking residents and disrupting their daily lives. Complaints from residents like Randol White and Sophia Tung led Waymo to acknowledge the issue and implement a software fix. Despite initial frustrations, the issue appears to be resolved as reports indicate that the overnight honking has ceased. Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, operates these autonomous vehicles in multiple cities including San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The incident has reignited discussions about the challenges and ethical considerations of integrating autonomous vehicles into urban environments.
