Residents of a quiet residential neighborhood are going spare at the number of driverless Waymo cars invading their area. Locals on Battleview Drive in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, say their cul-de-sacs are being clogged by dozens of cars every day after appearing two months ago. WSB-TV 2 spoke to incensed residents who are now pleading with the autonomous driving tech firm to stop. “It’s almost every little cul-de-sac around our area, so I think it’s a real problem,” one resident told the station. “Yesterday morning, we had 50 cars that came through between six and seven.” They erected a makeshift bollard to stop them from entering the cul-de-sac, which only created a terrible traffic jam. “We had... eight Waymos that were stuck, trying to figure out how to turn around,” the resident said. Locals said the increase in traffic was making them worried about the kids and pets in the area, especially since children are trying to catch the school bus in the mornings. One told Atlanta News First that they had seen a cat and a dog have near-misses in two separate incidents. “We would just like to see them stay on main traffic roads,” one said.
