Automated Cars Driving, Beeping At One Another At Night

 Frankly, I find this very creepy. The Daily Mail reports: "Outraged San Francisco condo residents are being kept awake at night by parking lot full of driverless cars that constantly beep at each other." The article expounds on the information in the headline:

    Furious San Francisco neighbors say they are losing sleep over a parking lot full of driverless cars that continually honk at each other.

    California residents near 2nd Street and Harrison Street in the South of Market neighborhood have recorded Waymo vehicles honking in a nearby parking lot throughout all hours of the day.

    The dystopian video shows the cars driving in circles around the lot with their lights on in the middle of the night as they randomly start beeping at each other.

    White said he was first disturbed by the vehicles two weeks ago when they were going off around 4 a.m. He has taken his concerns to the company, but is infuriated that there is nothing he can do to make the cars stop.

    'There's no one for me to go down there and have a conversation with, because they're a robotaxi. That's the most frustrating thing, you're just yelling into the void,' he said.

    Waymo told KGO they know about the problem and are working to fix it.

    'We are aware that in some scenarios our vehicles may briefly honk while navigating our parking lots. We have identified the cause and are in the process of implementing a fix,' said the company.

Robotaxis driving themselves around their parking lot communicating to one another in the middle of the night. Nothing to worry about.
