Waymo now has more than 300 driverless vehicles zipping passengers around San Francisco, but while they follow traffic laws, parking is another matter entirely. According to city records cited by The Washington Post, these rolling robots racked up 589 citations totaling $65,065 in fines last year for parking violations that ranged from blocking traffic to street-cleaning restrictions to parking in prohibited areas.
In fairness to Waymo, getting a parking ticket in San Francisco is aggravatingly easy. The city hands them out like fliers. (Per The San Francisco Standard, the rough number last year was 1.2 million.)
