Man taken into custody after trying to drive off in a Waymo in downtown L.A., police say
Briefly

According to police, the individual entered the Waymo vehicle as a front passenger and then inexplicably shifted to the driver's seat, seemingly confused about the self-driving technology.
LAPD Officer Drake Madison noted that by the time police arrived, the man appeared to be under the influence and refused to comply, leading to an intensifying standoff.
Video footage captured the unforeseen confrontation, showing the man in the self-driving vehicle, seemingly unperturbed, as officers approached behind a riot shield.
Amidst the chaos, a large beverage can was spotted on top of the Waymo, raising questions about its source and whether the man had placed it there or if it was left from a prior ride.
