I drove in one just for fun, and it was obviously on invisible rails and took a bizarre route. What should have taken 10-15 mins took 45 mins at is drove in a giant circle making a bunch of right hand turns instead of driving right down Judah street. There was no traffic, it was in the avenues later at night.
Any anti rail NIMBY communities that succeed in stopping rail transit or rail activity needs a self driving car depot with all night horn honking. Some rail foes think self driving cars like this are better than rail.
OK so if the car honks when in reverse and is close to an object ... what was the resolution? It no longer honks at other Waymo vehicles? Or it no longer honks during certain hours while in the Waymo parking lot?
This could be fixed with two simple steps. First, disable their horns when they get to the parking lot. And second, assign a specific parking spot for each car.
We are visiting the city this week and we've ridden them a few times and the honking is pretty odd but the cars are really cool and it's nice to just get in and not have to feel like you have to talk to somebody lol.
This idea must crash after a sufficient number of people are killed by these driverless vehicles. But, considering the crazy nature of this country, these four wheeled robots may still be running in public roads even after, because in this country money talk.
@@switchdeck9164 Of course they have less accidents compared to human drivers. There are less of them and they're strictly controlled by corporations with an incentive to lie to you about how safe they are. Just look at Tesla's grisly accidents.
It seems like they could program the car to check a list of predefined locations before it honks. If the car's current position is at a location on the list (like it's own parking lot), it doesn't honk.
I'm thinking that would have been the fix. Probably didn't count on it happening in the original code. You would think somewhere along the Q and A line someone put multiple in a car park and tried to have them all park but guess they may have missed it. All new technologies have teething issues though so it's somewhat to he expected. Glad they are doing the trials and getting rid of the issues before it comes my way lol.
Wow been dealing with 3 chewawas constantly barking all hours of day and night and there is nothing that anyone will do. At least you guys get to have news coverage of your noise pollution neighbors.
everytime a driver inside of a waymo company driving, and park infront of my house , I received a phone call generated from the same company waymo uses , 1 during day time and 1 at earlier night and 1 during am nighttime around 3am , are they electronic stalker violating the people privacy at home and in their phone lines ?
How STUPID is it that these cars - that can find their way to a customer, their way to that customer's destination, and then back again, would need to rely on HORNS for anything at all? This is BEYOND stupidity. It's not forward thinking, it's sideways thinking.
