In a quiet residential area in San Francisco, USA, a Waymo self-driving car comes rushing to a road with a dead end and makes a U-turn frequently.
If you look at the video, if you look at the Waymo car filmed on 15th Street, it makes a U-turn and goes back the way it came because it is a dead end street in front of it. It is said that Waymo is often seen here. The problem is the intersection. There is an observation deck and luxury apartments to the north, and general vehicles are not allowed to enter. Also, since the East-West street in front of the ban is a pedestrian street (Slow Street) set by the city authorities, if you rush in this direction, the vehicle loses its way and has no choice but to turn back.
Waymo emphasized that the company is constantly adapting to the San Francisco dynamic road regulations, and that all vehicles, not just Waymo, are compliant with the required regulations. Related information can be found here.
