Self-driving cars keep turning down a dead-end San Francisco street. Neighbors say they come "every 5 minutes."

Residents of a dead-end San Francisco street are used to hearing the hum of autonomous vehicles — telling CBS San Francisco they've seen a recent influx of Waymo's self-driving cars turn down 15th Avenue in the city's Richmond District before turning around and leaving again.
The cars — equipped with technology and a human driver in case of emergencies — appear completely baffled as they take in the street and make a multi-point turn to get out of the dead end, CBS San Francisco reported. Not long after that car is gone, another one shows up and does the same thing. And it never really stops, according to the street's residents.
"There are some days where it can be up to 50," Jennifer King told CBS San Francisco. "It's literally every five minutes. And we're all working from home, so this is what we hear."
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
