Waymo is causing friction with some LA residents.

Some way to flag a car to “move on” might be good if it’s the parking spot in front of your house, it could influence the algorithm by making that spot less desirable compared to other locations when the parking decision is made, maybe this demotion would only last a few days/weeks.

Are they good at avoiding parking in places that would block driveways and things? Would a way to submit more detailed mapping data to help avoid access problems?

Are the cameras always needed to be on? I think it should be safe enough to turn them off once parked? Maybe firing them up again if movement is detected in a few metre radius (collision and vandalism protection) I assume they have mmwave motion detection type sensors. I know this type of tech is a privacy nightmare but I do feel corporate laziness (amongst other things) makes it worse.

Waymos loitering on your property? All I see is free scrap metal, catalytic converters, and expensive cameras and sensors being delivered to you! /s
