Los Angeles man nearly misses flight after self-driving taxi won’t stop riding round in circles​

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.

I love advanced technology but I'm too old school to even want to get in a car with no driver. My daughter and her friends did it and got to the destination and the doors wouldn't unlock. Yall can have it. lol

Not trying to be an asshole- and it's a real issue that needs to be addressed, but bruh is firmly on CP time if a "5 minute delay" caused him to "nearly miss a flight", lol get yo ass to the airport more than 5 minutes before your plane is supposed to board, ninja.
