Why Are Some People Frustrated With Waymo Car Horns?

Показать описание

For weeks citizens in San Francisco have been pulling their collective hair out over the incessant sound of honking horns. The honking horns are coming from the self-driving fleet of taxis known as Waymo. According to Waymo, the honking is actually a safety feature designed to prevent low-speed collisions. In a statement to Inside Edition, Waymo says "We've updated the software, so our electric vehicles should keep the noise down for our neighbors moving forward."

Here, we see a gathering of Waymo vehicles. They begin to honk, in hopes of attracting a mate.

Those cars love talking to each other. No wonder one keeps talking about the piston cup.😂

They never thought a car horn would make that much noise? Brilliant minds.

They should be fined. If you or I did that the police would've been called.

So this is how The Machines rise up. Loud and annoying. Chipping away at our nerves. 😂

It would take all my self restraint to stop myself from throwing a brick through those car windows

My sympathy goes out to the "It's 4AM Help!" lady.
Those things need to be shut up so she can get some sleep.

In the UK below is our horn law. So the taxi people would be getting a fine after 11.30pm
Car horns should only be used when the car is in motion to warn of imminent danger or avoid potential accidents. Misuse of the car horn such as to express annoyance, startle animals or hurry other road users can lead to fines. Horn use is also restricted between 11.30pm and 7am, barring cases of imminent danger.

They look like the puzzle from the game you have to move the cars to get out of the parking lot 😂

Why can't they just shut off the cars until the next morning?

Just the idea of someone else becoming rich at the expense of my sacred sleep time would be enough to take matters into my own hands. Your freedom ends where mine begins.

As annoying as this might be for the residents this is kinda hilarious.

They’re simply communicating with each other. They’re probably wondering when Skynet-Alexa will go self-aware so they don’t have to deal with the unsufferable humans.
