It is at this intersection that the problem is occurring. There is an observatory and a luxury apartment on the north side, and general vehicles are not allowed to enter. In addition, the east-west street / Lake Street in front of the no-entry area is a pedestrian paradise called 'Slow Street' defined by the city of San Francisco, so vehicles that plunge in this direction will have nowhere to go and will return. That's not the case.


A Waymo spokeswoman said, 'We are constantly adapting to San Francisco's dynamic road regulations,' stating that all vehicles, not just Waymo, comply with the required regulations.
