Waymo has commenced its 24/7 autonomous ride services in Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Mountain View, marking a significant step in its operations. However, this rollout has prompted backlash from residents like Linda MacKenzie, who reports that Waymo's parked cars create disturbances in neighborhoods. Complaints include noise and potential safety risks, indicating community concerns over privacy and public space. Despite state-level authorization for the self-driving service, local residents are voicing their apprehensions regarding its impact on their community.
"Neighborhood streets are maintained for the public good, not to support a private business. They make a noise. Their cameras are recording everything that is nearby."
"Opening our fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Silicon Valley marks a special milestone in our Bay Area journey. We’re bringing seamless rides, safer streets, and sustainable transportation to our local community."
