Residents of what is typically a quiet neighborhood in San Francisco are being plagued with humming from several Waymo vehicles crowding a dead-end street.
The mysterious sightings are coming from the end of 15th Avenue, where up to 50 of the self-driving cars appear to be confused as they enter the area, residents told local news station KPIX.
Resident Jennifer King told KPIX that the vehicles, which are being tested in the California city, all make a multi-point turn and then just leaving from where they came in – and sometimes multiple cars arrive at once.
'I noticed it while I was sleeping,' Jennifer King, a resident in Richmond District told KPIX. 'I awoke to a strange hum and I thought there was a spacecraft outside my bedroom window.'

Waymo told the news outlet that it is looking into the matter – DailyMail.com has contacted the Alphabet-owned company for more information.
Valued at $30 billion, Waymo, the autonomous driving unit of Google's parent company Alphabet, unleashed its self-driving taxi service in San Francisco to expand testing in August.
The testing is being conducted with an 'autonomous specialist' seated at the wheel, who collects feedback during the ride-share trips and can take over in the event of an emergency.
Not much has been said about the ride-share testing until multiple cars began flooding the dead-end street.

King told KPIX that she and other residents have spoken with the Waymo employees seated behind the wheel with the hopes of understanding the bizarre behavior, but the employees said, 'they're just doing their job.'
