Waymos perform ritual robot pilgrimage around suburban Atlanta cul-de-sac
One assumes this was either a routing glitch or the first step in selecting tribute.
Atlanta residents recently awoke to what appeared to be the opening scene of a very boring AI apocalypse, as empty Waymos repeatedly looped through their neighborhood in apparent service to some unknowable machine imperative
In one northwest Atlanta neighborhood, the residents say dozens of Waymo cars end up circling their cul-de-sac.
Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach went to one street, where neighbors say they want the Waymos to stop.
“It’s almost every little cul-de-sac in our area, so I think it’s a problem,” one neighbor, on Battleview Drive, told Gehlbach.
On a dead end street, Waymo after Waymo after Waymo drive on, usually early in the morning.
“I think yesterday morning, we had 50 cars that came through between 6 and 7,” a neighbor told Channel 2 Action News.
The singularity may not kill us; it may simply annoy us into surrender.
It must be mating season!
Each car finding out anew that you can't get there from here.
