A Los Angeles man nearly missed his flight after a self-driving Waymo taxi failed to stop driving in circles around a parking lot.
Mike Johns was heading home from Scottsdale, Arizona last week when he hailed a Waymo on his way to a nearby airport.
He described the experience as something akin to a scene from a sci-fi thriller in a post to LinkedIn that has since garnered more than two million views.
“You’d think by now Waymo would email, text or call for a follow-up. Nope, customer service is automated and ran by AI,” Johns wrote.
