Santa Monica and Waymo Clash Over Autonomous Vehicle Charging Stations
Santa Monica is seeking a court order to declare two Waymo recharging stations public nuisances due to noise and light disturbances affecting residents, with proposed restrictions on overnight operations, despite Waymo's claims of recent improvements and compliance. The city argues the nuisances disrupt sleep and daily life, while Waymo defends its efforts to mitigate issues and continues operations.
