Empty Waymos Invade Atlanta, Circle Cul-de-Sac for Hours

Atlanta’s streets commonly feature Waymo’s self-driving cars, typically providing Uber rides. However, a peculiar issue has emerged: what happens when these autonomous vehicles are empty? Residents in a northwest Atlanta neighborhood report dozens of vacant Waymos “invading” their cul-de-sacs, circling for hours. This unexplained routing behavior has sparked safety concerns for families and prompted outreach to Waymo and local officials.
