BIZARRE: Empty Waymo Robotaxis Invade Atlanta Neighborhood, Circle Cul-de-Sac for Hours

Go to Article

A neighborhood in Atlanta, GA is being plagued by empty Waymo robotaxis.

These self-driving cars keep appearing in droves only to circle the cul-de-sac for hours on end, with no passengers inside.

It’s happening typically early in the morning, disturbing the residents of this Northwest Atlanta neighborhood.

This local news clip dove deeper into the situation:

So far, Waymo has not addressed the residents’ concerns about what’s going on in their neighborhood.

The New York Post reported further:

Waymos, which have exploded in popularity in cities across the US, have no passengers and are not picking anyone up on the street, locals said.

The sudden influx of driverless traffic has parents worried.

“We’re families, we have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic,” the concerned woman said.

Residents have contacted Waymo but said they have not heard back. They’ve also reached out to local elected officials and the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Waymo, which is owned by Alphabet, a subsidiary of Google, said it has “already addressed this routing behavior.”

“With over 500,000 weekly trips across the country, our service is proven to significantly reduce traffic injuries and improve road safety,” the company said in a statement.

“We value our relationship with Atlanta residents and remain focused on providing a seamless, respectful, and safe experience for riders and residents alike.”

At the very least, this is quite strange.

At the worst, it’s a sign of something sinister going on…

MJTruthUltra on X pointed out the parallels between what’s happening in Atlanta and a scenario straight out of the (terrible) apocalyptic movie Leave the World Behind, which was funded by Obama.

Take a look at this:

What do you think?

Is this just an annoying quirk of the AI future we are heading towards?

Or is something more concerning going on?
