#waymo

Rolling their eyes and mocking the pathetic attempts to navigate the narrow space, passersby reportedly mumbled “Must be a Waymo” Monday while observing a local moron stuck backing up in an alley for half an hour. “These companies act like it’s only a matter of time before every car on the road is an autonomous vehicle, but this technology still can’t handle more complicated maneuvers,” bystander Gia Zelaya said of the panicking driver who had attempted the same three-point turn 10 times in row while barking “Fuck, fuck!” at himself. 

A few days ago, a Redditor posted in the community for DoorDash drivers that they received an offer to close a Waymo vehicle’s door. The job paid a guaranteed fee of $6.25 with a $5 extra on top of it after the DoorDasher verifies that it has been completed. Waymo has confirmed to 404Media and TechCrunch that, yes, it is indeed paying Dashers to shut the doors of its self-driving cars. And it makes sense because, well, there’s nobody to do it otherwise if a passenger accidentally leaves it open.
