The guys who did the software on this car are the same type of guys who want to geo-engineer the planet.

"Earlier this year, a man experienced a similar incident when a Waymo car began driving in endless circles around a parking lot in Phoenix, Arizona.

"I've got my seatbelt on, I can't get out of the car," the driver said from the backseat of the Waymo. "Has this been hacked?"

(Futurism) via Fark Waymo cab stops in middle of Texas expressway and locks passengers inside. Murderbot writers seen taking notes for next series Passengers Alarmed as Self-Driving Car Kidnaps Them, Refuses to Let Them Exit A woman says she found herself stuck in the middle of an express loop when her self-driving Waymo taxi decided it needed a break. "Luckily, Waymo riders can contact live customer support for incidents that happen during their ride. Unfortunately, the remote agent didn't do much — and by the sound of it, couldn't have even if he wanted to. Once customer service was called, Navarro says the car stopped in the middle of a lane under MoPac — an infamous toll-loop running along the west side of Austin. MoPac is frequently listed among the most dangerous highways in the city, and is so notorious it spawned its own viral parody account on X-formerly-Twitter, Evil Mopac. "So then we're talking to customer support," Navarro explains, "we kept saying, 'hey we're on the highway, please, like move the car.' Cars kept honking at us and it would not move, would not let us out." Video from within the Waymo shows the group arguing with a live support agent as a screen prompts riders to "please exit now," all while an autonomous voice continuously chimes "vehicle approaching" at each passing car. "I understand, but we don't have a way to just physically move the cars," the agent stammers as the women ask to leave."
