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 didn't watch the video, but was he really not capable of opening the doors? I've taken a waymo quite a few times and it used to try dropping me off in front my neighbors house instead of where I live, so I would just open the door and it would immediately stop

Wouldn't be as good a video tho

There's a button inside to signal the car to pull over. He's only "trapped" in the sense that he might miss his flight if he has to wait for a different car to come pick him up.

Gotcha, that does make sense. I was under the impression the parking lot he was going in circles in was at the airport. If that isn't the case, than I understand his position more. He's still a Karen though

I think he's trapped in that he couldn't get out of a moving vehicle. Also, it might not let him out for "safety" issues.

That's interesting. It always stops for me whenever I open the door. I wonder if I'm special🤔

While it's moving?
