Silly question: will the Waymo AV use the horn? I see a few parking lot incidents where another driver backed into the front of a stationary Waymo AV at ~2 mph. I think a human driver might have tried honking at the other driver, on seeing a slow-motion collision about to occur.

It would be a good feature to add, but...

I've been backed into before. I didn't hit my horn. I just kept thinking, "There's no way they're going to back into me."

It does use the horn, but it's not clear whether it can/did in these incidents.
