The irony of suburbanites wanting to preserve green space and quality of life. Wow.
Public streets
What a lack of real problems
If there are not on or in your own drive way should not matter where they park if it doesn't effect your own drive way
I wouldn't be happy with a private surveillance vehicles taking parking spots in front of my house. Not sure why you're so cozy with it.
@@JonXuereb I would appreciate the extra security. What are you trying to hide, Jon?
@@JonXuereb Also, they're not surveillance vehicles. They don't record when they're not in use.
Dim cars in park wherever they want to park they not in your yard or in your driveway leave them alone
move to a gated neighborhood problem solved.
You can’t possibly be THAT thick 😂
Imagine getting mad at a parked car. Actually, thinking about how most HOAs are, this is par for the course these days. Always someone with too much time on their hands mad about something that doesn't even impact them.
they gonna want them to idle when they are too old to drive themselves
@@barkleesanders they don't even idle; those cars are fully electric
@@danieldaniels7571 oh i know
Usual old farts. Don’t park in front of my house. My neighbor comes out with the hose, pretending to water his grass and sprays people’s parked cars. Opps, I’m sorry for that. 😂
@@andrerodriguez7603 my car is filthy and needs washed badly. Being sprays down would be a good start. What’s your neighbor’s address?
I think I am going to start taking my lunch break right there with the Waymo cars. Seems like a nice enough area and I work nearby!
we may see you here on youtube getting falsly arrested lol make sure yur fone iis on ready to record lol
I pull over all the time in area like that to eat my lunch while taking a break from ridesharing.
Yea, but your car probably doesn't make and annoying ass whirring noise like Waymo cars.
@@jerbwood The make noise while parked?
@@bluechex7881 when they park, they are in idle. The cars don't shut off.
@@jerbwood they are gas poweed cars?
@@bluechex7881 not sure if they use gas or not. But they make a whirring noise when in idle.
They are in my neighborhood and I hate it, I almost got hit in my neighborhood by one that didn't obey the yield sign just a few minutes ago, on Tempe Drive.
`Wow, Almost? The nerve.
Like you could almost get hit by a human driver also.
You almost got hit by it, huh… guess it hates you back.
Definitely some kinks to work out. I will say, I'd rather have a robot than the usual Uber drivers I get.
I had one Uber driver open her phone and scroll through Facebook on a busy street just to show me pictures of her nephew's dog
Those vehicles look like sitting ducks for vandalism.
Yeah I'm sure vandalizing a car with more cameras and sensors than the average vandal can count is a good idea haha!
Are you from the vandalism for idiots channel?
they torched Waymos in San Fran lol
People complain about everything. New technology is here.
Disable em all. Call yourself Antifa. Wear a rainbow shirt. Problem solved.
The only problem I see is some male Karens who think they own and can dictate who can park on public streets.
Amen.
I hope more of these Waymo's park here. Public streets win!
I can understand why they’d be upset.
Karen
True
I'm surprised there aren't more complaints from people like those guys. Once the start in Snotsdale, we'll hear a LOT more, I'm sure.
The other day I saw a Waymo almost go into the scene of a crash . It was so confused did not know to go to the right lane, the police had to get in-front of it to stop it from going into the intersection were there was a crashed motorcycle and crashed car. Pretty scary.
Once human drivers are out of the equation crashed cars will be a thing of the past.
As of today, they flee pretty immediately once they see emergency vehicles with their lights on. It rerouted me one time because it saw an ambulance pulled over with it's lights on.
@@danieldaniels7571will never happen in your lifetime
it's not an intrusion and it's a public street, those people's opinion are just an opinion not proven fact! The cars idling are not hurting the environment either.
Main problem is lidar sensor spinning and creating noise...
It wont even be heard if youre inside the house. What next, ban all noises outside your house?
I don't think the noise we hear in this video is from the vehicles. Watching people film themselves testing these out, I can't hear the lidar at all.
@@noelbaudy5371 the air conditioning on these male Karen's houses makes more noise than an idling Waymo. They're electric Jag IPace cars with zero emissions, and very quiet.
@@communityband1 the noise in the video is the sound of traffic on the stroad behind the cinderblock wall on the other side of the green space the old man is complaining about his view of.
Maybe if the cars were not so ugly people wouldn’t be so angry. No one is talking about emissions from all day idling if that that’s true!
I really think these type driverless cars are almost pointless. Other than taking a job away.
The type of tech they use is brittle and rudimentary, what we absolutely can’t have is to let a large chunk of traffic become these cars with this level of tech.
In a dynamic problem situation like a weather emergency, evacuation , or civil defense situation, self driving technology could be a game changer, but this as the experts call it “brittle tech” is incapable of any kind of dynamic unplanned event. They get stuck.
Sure, the idling of electric vehicles is a problem. LOL.
@@Wilem35electricity is free and harmless. it comes from wind faeries and it makes the earf more cooler and stuff.
It's like they're all packing together to make a move
First world problems.
Wow, these guys are dinosaurs.
That’s legit not any kind of problem, Because they block your view of grass ain’t a problem if you fr wanna see the view then go outside and look at it, The cars are parked legally and aren’t blocking anybody from coming or going.
If the spots are public then they have every right to park their same as anyone else, though I do agree that if the cars are not in use they should not be idling, they should be shut off.
If these residents truly cared about green space, they should push for the city to ban ALL cars, including their own, on this street. These residents are the classic example of NIMBY (not in my backyard).
Womp womp. Deal with it.
These people just want something to complain about. They seem to have forgotten that those "City" streets are PUBLIC!
Why are they giving Karen spot lights?
More like Darrens
automated cars suck ass, what a shocker.
Wow very envirormentally friendly leaving the car on idle…
If they where just parked there it wouldnt be a problem but leaving the engine on the whole time…
They are Jaguar I-PACEs, electric vehicles only consume relevant power when the motors are accelerating. The amount enough to keep the screens and sensors is negligible.
They don't have engines
The news report is wrong they are not parked there idling like they say, they are just parked there while they stop with the engine not running... These are electric cars and do not have an engine that can idle.
Wow they’re literally not occupied by a human. Calm down Bob
If an 18 wheel commercial vehicle can't park in a public residential street then a WAYMO commercial vehicle shouldn't be allowed either!
All other commercial vehicles can, though. In fact, most residential streets have several commercial work trucks and vans parked on them as many employees take them home after work as well as park in front of houses when providing services at them.
@@danieldaniels7571 yes this is true but in those cases they don't leave their cars running the whole time! Thus it's not o.k.
@@genehasenbuhler2594 Waymo uses zero emissions fully electric cars. They're not running if they're not moving. It was fake news for them to say they're idling because electric cars don't idle.
@@danieldaniels7571 waymo is a commercial fleet vehicle service- therefore they must comply with federal standards including not parking in mass on public residential streets! If they are so bent on doing so then they should create a parking space or lot for their fleet! Either way electricity isn't the clean energy you think it is! And we are one Carrington event away from proving that!
@@genehasenbuhler2594 🤡🤣
What if you’re walking in front of it and it decides to leave
Splat! Crackle! Cruncchh!
It will wait for you to pass or maybe back up
Lucky. I'd love to live somewhere where I can get a taxi at a moments notice.
ahh they dont like seeing cars parked in their pretty neighborhood. like they own the streets. lmao. is there anything yall dont complain about.
These guys are paid by Elon Musk. 😂
I saw so many and they made inappropriate lane changes and pulled into the left fast lane in front of other vehicles
Still much safer than people driving.
shocking that the engine any everything needs to be kept running why does the car just wake up when needed. what is that hard to do? what a fail
It’s probably to keep the car cool or warm based on weather for the next passenger 🤷♂️
You do realize these are prototypes?
What engine?
They are electric
The news report is wrong they are not parked there idling like they say, they are just parked there while they stop with the engine not running... These are electric cars and do not have an engine that can idle.----
Arizona, the instead of these people complaining they should have gotten there vehicle out and park right up to the rear and front, trapping them.😂
they are basically driving without a license.
Most of them are better drivers than humans just saying
They have a license from the state...
They’re licensed by the state..
are they electric? they seem quite noisy while idling. What's up the whipper on a sunny day?
They are electric
I believe, the whippers react to the lidar from the other Waymo vehicle parked in front of it, we see it here in SF a lot with all the other autonomous vehicles interacting with the Waymo vehicles
@@brandond8119 what are whippers?
@@danieldaniels7571 omg wipers 😳🙈
@@brandond8119 ah, okay. That makes a lot more sense. I’ve seen Waymo ride-along videos where the wipers randomly come on in dry weather for a couple sweeps across the windshield.
Dim residents have waymo problems than to worry about a car
their complain, "im tired of looking at it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yup, tesla paid these people
I see vandalism in Waymos future.
They have multiple cameras recording all around their vehicles. Maybe if you wear a mask.
@@lamgineer well it won't be me so whoever wants to do is gunna have to be smart.
@@jerbwood smart people don't vandalize cars.
@@danieldaniels7571 not every criminal is dumb.
@@jerbwood true, but smart criminals do profitable crimes, not vandalism.
It’s not like in gas being let out all the time! It all electricity!
Also… just curious, if the stay out ALL NIGHT… wouldn’t they just run out if charge?
Waymo doesn't wanna drive around looking for customers, but when uber/lyft drivers park somewhere, they tell us that we need to move to a busier area to get requests. Arrogance of these stupid companies. Throw a rock or two at waymo for fun & wear a face mask so they can't identify you. Good times ahead. LOL
Imagine being cool with committing crimes.
Taxi drivers do the same thing
“ we have two now how many are we gonna have 6” if this was a Mexican neighborhood there would be no news story, who cares
I will NEVER GET in these death traps! I’ll drive myself!
It's Tempe. Would rather see waymos vs homeless from tempe 😂
Things were all over the place tonight.
They are not spying on anyone.
@@bluechex7881 Ok.
Nice!
Haha... They shouldn't be allowed to use public roads! 😂😂😂
Why they got the licsense? yikes.
Place cones on the hood in other neighborhoods and it will disable them.
Really bitching about a parked car with no one in it. As long as it's not doing anything illegal, why would you even give AF? Just bitching for no reason.
Its a death machine robot. Autonomous cars are one of the biggest dangers to society. Singularity is a terrifying thought I'd be terrified with one in my neighborhood. In 2007 I told someone I could never trust a car to drive itself. Someone stated not now but if technology evolves maybe they could. I stated driving on public road with infinite variables is too much to trust. They stated I think such a thing is closer than you think. I took that to mean as maybe in my lifetime and I was only 23 at the time. How my fears became a reality in not even 10 years from that point in the early 2010s
Just thankful they are no where near mainstream and only in test and taxi services. But that is frightening enough. Just say no before these overtake our freedom and threaten our safety and liberty.
Nobody drive yhem so we can get our jobs back.
Complaoners wow. Not a bog deal theyre not doing any harm or wrong gees. I cant stand theese old babbies.
..... there no problem... it's not bothering anyone... also they pay for road use.. they are public card
They will ban these cars.
Negative
Nah
Same as people that demand criminals spend more time in prisons but don't want them anywhere near where they live. I would also bet these are the same people that when they call for a Waymo want it there in minutes instead of waiting 30 minutes for it to drive from a central parking area. I do agree however the car should turn off between runs to save fuel & reduce noise & carbon pollution.
What if the car initially has been programmed to drop you off to a Starbucks few blocks from you, as you have requested it , but somehow the system of the vehicle flips out on you, locks all the doors and you end up being dropped out to San Francisco 😂?
There's a button inside to talk to a real person who can help.
My brothers think that the little spinning thing on the top of the waymo cars is a brain scanner.
Put a tin foil hat on it.
Seen them in PHOENIX
Vandalism is the answer. If you cant figure out what a wrist rocket is for
I agree with these boomers. They are an eye sore.
Tech companies can do whatever they want, don't you know that?
Some people will complain about anything.... Get a job you have too much time on your hands
The news report is wrong they are not parked there idling like they say, they are just parked there while they stop with the engine not running... These are electric cars and do not have an engine that can idle.++
They are on a public street………
Lol 😂😂😂 this is stupid all around self driving cars should be ban
All cars should be banned
i wonder why crazy people think they own the public streets in their neighborhoods. is it a sickness of some kind, possessiveness maybe, or dilutions of grandeur? lol
They should at least turn off their engines.
They’re electric. They don’t have engines.
@@danieldaniels7571 I see. Thanks!
@@danieldaniels7571 electric cars still have engines lol, its not magic
@@tucsonbandit no, they have motors, not engines. They’re not the same thing. And when motors aren’t aren’t turning, they are off.
@@danieldaniels7571 the car is making a lot of noise and if it were completely off it all the crap on it would not be spinning.
Perhaps all those gizmos needs to stay cool or it overheats so the cars cooling system is providing cooling to all the Lidar systems or whatever other gadgets are on the car. Its not just sitting quietly.
Bruh it's a parked car lmao it's not like it's parked in front of your house. Also i would feel way saver that someone isn't in the car when people just sit in the car i get scared thinking it's robbers scooping out the area. Looking for somewhere to break in
You know what to do. ✂️
they should go to a commercial parking lot, not hang out in a residential area, that's a space for residents, not commercial vehicles.
taxi cabs cant indefinitely hang out next to a house, neither should driverless
Commercial parking lots are almost guaranteed to be private property and only intended for patrons, not people idling. People do it all the time but to be legally in the clear, Waymo won't do it.
Taxi cabs can hang out next to a house as long as they want as long as they're legally parked.
Funny how today's story relates to your suggestion of one year prior. Check San Francisco Waymo lot honking stories. The problem is that the lot Waymo leased is in between residential condo buildings. Hilarious.
Only I can park my ugly car.
Damn, these type of people really find everything to be upset about.
IDLE for 5 minutes in Europe and you got a ticket...It could be the hottest day of summer. Police don't care.
Technically they're parked, not idling.
@@danieldaniels7571 engine is on, you can even hear that in video.
@@pofjiosgjsoges I ride in them regularly. They're Jaguar IPace fully electric cars and don't have engines.
Ah yes, americans having robot cars, whats next ? Robot president of the usa? Would actually be better than old sleepy joe.
A solar powered calculator would be better than Trump.
No one’s gonna do anything about that we got bigger fish to fry
😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
hated them in chandler, its your neighborhood watch now
Tesla fsd is better, the driver can take over.
Tesla FSD requires a driver, waymo does not.
Drivers can take over a Waymo too. I see drivers in them quite often.
@@danieldaniels7571 They are running fully autonomous in San Francisco
@@tiagankoob820 they are in Phoenix and Tempe as well, but that doesn't mean a person can't take over and drive them as OP suggested.
@@danieldaniels7571 Good luck fighting the power steering, unlike a level 2 system its not made to be disengaged when operating without a driver and will actively fight you.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop whining.
Electric vehicles 😂
