NBC Bay Area reports that Waymo self-driving cars are honking at each other in a San Francisco parking lot.

No one is inside the cars, and they appear to be automatically reacting to each other's presence.

The automatic nature of these interactions has left neighbors bewildered and sleep-deprived.

A Waymo spokesperson told NBC , "We have identified the cause and are in the process of implementing a fix".
