Self-driving Waymo cars clog up dead-end San Francisco street
Oct 2021, BBC News
Residents in a "dead-end" street in San Francisco say they are being plagued by an influx of self-driving vehicles.Waymo says the vehicles are just "obeying road rules" designed to limit traffic in certain residential streets. A resident said the human "safety drivers" supervising the automated cars "don't have much to say other than the car is programmed and they're just doing their job".A spokesman for Waymo said the cars sometimes made a detour because of the presence nearby of one of San Francisco's "slow streets", which aim to limit traffic in certain residential areas. "We continually adjust to dynamic San Francisco road rules. In this case, cars traveling north of California on 15th Avenue have to take a u-turn due to the presence of 'slow streets' signage on Lake," the company said.
