Sophia Tung discovered that Waymo's driverless cars, parked in the lot outside her San Francisco apartment, were programmed to honk when near each other, resulting in a cacophony of noise that disturbed her and her neighbors. She described the situation as both curious and frustrating, highlighting the peculiar impact of automated technology on urban living.
After weeks of enduring the incessant honking from Waymo's autonomous vehicles, Ms. Tung took matters into her own hands by setting up a livestream of the noisy scene, hoping to draw attention to the situation. With a simple setup using an old web camera and cereal box, she aimed to share the unusual scenario of technology's daily disruptions with the broader public.
