What we know:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Videos taken along Battleview Drive shows more than a dozen modified, all-electric Jaguar I-PACE SUVs traveling in one direction along the roadway, turning around at the cul-de-sac and heading back out the same way they entered the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The vehicle fleet does stage in certain heavily traveled areas to quickly respond to demand, the company told FOX 5 Atlanta. A spokesperson admitted that this shouldn\u2019t come at the expense of the neighborhood’s peace of mind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a statement, a spokesperson for Waymo wrote:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“At\u00a0Waymo, we are committed to being good neighbors. We take community feedback seriously and have already worked with our fleet partner to address this routing behavior. With over 500,000 weekly trips across the country, our service is proven to significantly reduce traffic injuries and improve road safety. We value our relationship with Atlanta residents and remain focused on providing a seamless, respectful, and safe experience for riders and residents alike.”<\/p>\n
