A malfunctioning Waymo left a passenger stuck in the autonomous vehicle as it drove circles around a parking lot
Briefly

Mike Johns, an AI consultant and Waymo user, shared his experience of getting stuck in a malfunctioning autonomous car, saying, 'When I got in, the car went in a circle. At first, it was no big deal - I figured it was gonna turn or do something - but, by circle number two, that's when I'm feeling like it's a prank.' Johns described feeling nausea and dizziness as the car continued to loop, highlighting the uncomfortable situation.
The Waymo spokesperson acknowledged that the incident resulted in a delay of a little over five minutes for Johns. They noted that the looping issue was resolved through a regularly scheduled software update, although they did not specify the timing of the update or how often such malfunctions occur.
