Waymo issued a software patch across its fleet to ensure that once the robotaxis entered the lot and began parking, they would not honk at each other.
Nihalani explained that while it makes a lot of sense for Waymos to honk on public roads, the group honking was an unintended consequence.
The livestream captured the robotaxis streaming in to park - and honk - for up to an hour around 4 a.m.
The quick backstory: Software engineer Sophia Tung set up a livestream of a parking lot in San Francisco where Waymo robotaxis go when they're not giving driverless rides.
