Waymo Cars Honk at Each Other Throughout the Night, Disturbing SF Neighbors

Driverless Waymo vehicles in a San Francisco parking lot have been repeatedly honking at each other, disrupting nearby residents’ sleep and daily lives, according to local media report. The incidents, occurring at random times over the past two weeks, have prompted complaints from multiple condo dwellers. Randol White, a local resident, first noticed the problem when he was awakened at 4 a.m. by the cacophony. Another resident, Russell Pofsky, reported being woken up more times in the past fortnight than in the previous 20 years combined.

Waymo acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying they have identified the cause and are implementing a fix. The company’s response comes after affected residents reached out to report the problem.
