Aftermath of yesterday's rain in Los Angeles with some Waymo vehicles 🤖🌧️
Waymo service was paused in LA yesterday evening due to the rain, although it hadn't been raining hard for 7 hours.
But I noticed this waymo just hanging out in the same residential parking spot for 30+ minutes when I was walking around 🤔
Lidars also spinning which seemed like a waste of battery.
