It's OK because it is a self-driving car, you see
What is the definition of hell? Having a Waymo self-driving, dumb car waking you up every morning at 5.30 am, as it is desperately trying to extract itself from a cul-de-sac.
You feel like asking: do we really need this? What on earth for? (I am being polite.)
I am surprised no one has slashed the tyres of the offending vehicle or torched it. Waymo should try Belfast for a different experience. I don't think the car would last very long.

Residents living on an east London street are still being woken by the "hideous siren" of a noisy self-driving car mistakenly driving up and down their cul-de-sac in the early hours, despite attempts to stop them.
The cars - made by US tech firm Waymo - are mapping out London's streets as part of tests to prepare for launching driverless minicabs in the capital.
The issue was first raised by BBC London last month but residents say at least one car has continued to get stuck on Elder Street in Spitalfields at night, with the vehicles emitting loud automated noises when reversing out.
