   Dear #Waymo : Are your cars allowed to rest in the neighborhoods? (uber's are, but you guys?)

   I get a thrill every time I see a Waymo in SF. Really.

   But I don't see them hanging out in legal parking spaces-- which I would think would be more energy efficient as you want for a new ride request.

   I know there are depots (and loved @via ' streaming of one). you could leave a legal parking spaces if someone wanted it. At least you could not use energy while waiting.

     @eatham @via Robo-taxi service that has been running in SF with such frequency that it seems almost normal to see driverless cars on the street.
