Mike Johns was on his way to the airport when the Waymo robotaxi began circling a parking lot non-stop

Mike Johns boarded a driverless Waymo taxi to an airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, but it began spinning in circles in a parking lot.

He filmed the moment he was trapped in the vehicle, unable to stop the car or get help.

Johns said he almost missed his flight.

    I’m guessing the “open the door and the car will stop” system was built by the same people who built the “get in this car and it’ll go to your destination” system.

      What is your point? If he didn’t try in the video, you can’t say that wouldn’t have worked. In my own experience, it stops every time the door is open.
