Why not?
Anyways:
Report: Waymo self-driving cars are having problems turning around corners
Report: Waymo self-driving cars are having problems turning around corners - SiliconANGLE
Top among the problems is an apparent issue with turning left. “The Waymo vans have trouble with many unprotected left turns and with merging into heavy traffic in the Phoenix area, especially on highways,” the report noted. “Sometimes, the vans don’t understand basic road features, such as metered red and green lights that regulate the pace of cars merging onto freeways.”
If having problems turning left isn’t bad enough, they also apparently on occasion have problems turning right. One woman claimed that she almost hit a Waymo vehicle as it suddenly stopped while trying to make a right turn.
The metered lights thing kind of makes sense, because while they use the normal red / green colors, only one car per green is supposed to go through (this prevents a large number of cars entering the highway all at once at busy times).

@boomzilla I guess the cars are pro-Trump

@boomzilla Maybe they were built for Nascar ("They're makin' a left turn!")

They've got a lot of gifts, but hanging a louie just isn't one of them.
