Haunted by glitching algorithms, self-driving cars disturb the peace in San Francisco.

On Saturday, NBC Bay Area reported that San Francisco's South of Market residents are being awakened throughout the night by Waymo self-driving cars honking at each other in a parking lot. Residents in nearby high-rise buildings have observed the autonomous vehicles entering the lot to pause between rides, but the cars' behavior has become a source of frustration for the neighborhood. Christopher Cherry, who lives in an adjacent building, told NBC Bay Area that he initially welcomed Waymo's presence, expecting it to enhance local security and tranquility.
