Waymo self-driving cars exhibit aggressive driving in San Francisco

Waymo self-driving cars are reportedly exhibiting more aggressive driving behaviors, including illegal U-turns and running stop signs, in San Francisco. This change follows Waymo's reprogramming of vehicles to be more "confidently assertive" to improve traffic flow on busy streets, though some residents find the new behavior jarring. The company states its vehicles have logged millions of miles with fewer serious injury crashes than human drivers, but Waymo faces ongoing federal scrutiny for various reported violations and incidents.
