Waymo self-driving vans having "trouble turning left"
by Rob Beschizza from on (#3XNR1)
The Information reports that Google's self-driving automobile division is having trouble making progress and has blown at least one major deadline. Among the key problems: its vehicles have trouble turning left at intersections.The article is paywalled, but Amir Efrati sums it up: "The truth about Waymo in suburban Phoenix starts here, at a T intersection at East Fairview St. and South 56 St., the closest one to Waymo's vehicle depot in Chandler. Waymo's vans sometimes have trouble finding a gap in traffic to turn left, frustrating people who say they get stuck behind them."
