Citizens Begin Putting a Stop to Waymos Using Hand-Painted Looney Tunes Walls

Residents Consult With ACME Engineers to Develop Foolproof Strategy

SAN FRANCISCO—Fed up with autonomous vehicles that stop in the middle of traffic, hesitate at empty intersections, and occasionally appear to forget they are 2-ton killing machines, residents across several major cities have begun taking matters into their own hands by painting highly convincing, Looney Tunes-style roads and tunnels directly onto solid walls.

The grassroots movement, dubbed “Operation Meep Meep,” has already shown what locals are calling a near-perfect success rate, with Waymo vehicles reportedly unable to distinguish between actual roads and hand-painted cartoon pranks.

“We tried complaining, we tried reporting it, we even tried setting them on fire,” said local resident James Sanchez, putting the finishing touches on a mural depicting a scenic highway disappearing into a brick wall. “Nothing worked. But apparently if you paint a tunnel on a wall, the car just fully commits. It’s the most decisive I’ve ever seen one of these things. It’s almost as if someone is driving into the walls on purpose.”
