In San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, neighbors say repeated honking from Waymo driverless cars is disturbing their sleep.
"We just would like for them to stop honking their horn at four in the morning repeatedly," one neighbor said.
"We started out with a couple of honks here and there, and then as more and more cars started to arrive, the situation got worse,"Cherry said.Cherry said the honking happens daily at different levels, with the most intense honking occurring at around 4:00 a.m. and at evening rush hour times. "The cars are robotic and they’re honking at each other and there’s no one in the cars when it’s happening, and that’s absurd," Cherry said.
In a statement to NBC Bay Area on Saturday, a Waymo spokesperson said,"We are aware that in some scenarios our vehicles may briefly honk while navigating our parking lots."
