A nightly Waymo robotaxi parking lot honkfest is waking San Francisco neighbors


The robotaxi parking party apparently peaks at 4AM.

Since the beginning of the month, software engineer Sophia Tung has been livestreaming a San Francisco parking lot that Waymo is renting to give its robotaxis somewhere to go during their downtime. If there aren’t any Waymos in the lot, “the flock will start migrating back” between 7PM and 9PM PST on Sunday through Thursday or 11PM through midnight, Friday and Saturday, says text overlaid on the video. Tung, who is a self-described micromobility advocate, told The Verge she thinks “generally people are bemused,” and that she likes having the cars there.
