Waymo Traffic Jam

BBC


It is not Waymo but Wayno 

Another Waymo mess, Waymo being the company whose cars are driverless - this time in Atlanta, Georgia. The footage is quite funny.

Having said this, can you imagine having a huge traffic jam of Waymo cars in your street, with the cars going round and round in circles for several hours, between 4.00 am and 8.00 am, non-stop? And when you call the company, you get some kind of automated, metallic-sounding robotic voice that talks at you and does not even understand what you are saying. 

A nightmare come true.

Multiple empty Waymo cars have been spotted driving around a cul-de-sac in Atlanta, Georgia, in the early hours of the morning.
The cars, which use artificial intelligence for routing and safety, are able to drive without human assistance. They have already been deployed in more than 10 US cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami.
Waymo told the BBC's US news partner, CBS News, that they 'take community feedback seriously and have already addressed this routing behavior.'
