Think of this as your investigation log. Answer each question to explain what you discovered and how you got there.
1. Write a brief overall summary of your findings.
after doing my research I have found that this story is true. residents, news reports and social media posts can confirm that many unoccupied waymos where driving through culdesacs near battleview drive.
2. What primary sources did you find (e.g., transcripts, videos of politician speeches, tweets from public figures, scientific studies)? For each source, write at least one or two sentences explaining what you learned. Include all links.
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/waymo-atlanta-circle-buckhead-google-b2977944.html
this source shows that sometimes as many as 50 empty waymos woukd enter residential cul de sacs and drive around them for hours. they would enter and then leave and sometimes get stuck. waymo has responed and said that it was a routing issue and it has now been resolved
4. What potential biases or interests might each of your sources have?
this is a left leaning website and it seems that they are against the waymos and are phrasing it to make it a bigger deal than it needs to be and as another reason not to use them.
5. What evidence supports the claim you are fact-checking?
there are multiple articles saying the same things
6. What evidence undermines the claim you are fact-checking?
none.
7. What happened when you tried contacting the person or group who made the original claim? (Always try to contact them—it’s okay if you don’t get a reply. For example, if the claim is that the president said something, try reaching out to the administration. If it was a Bluesky user, message that user on Bluesky.)
