Whatโ€™s Happening

Okay so If a passenger accidentally leaves a Waymo door open, the vehicle can get stuck in place.

It still feels like a technological marvel: Waymos autonomous cars are now transporting passengers across six cities. Alas, this driverless future comes with its own set of problems. (it feels like chaos)

These vehicles can be rendered inert if a passenger accidentally leaves the door open.

The Details

According to a Reddit post , one DoorDash driver found out this issue when an odd request appeared in their queue. Instead of making a delivery, the driver was offered $6.

25 to drive less than one mile to a Waymo vehicle and close its door. After verified completion, they would get an extra $5.

Why This Matters

Tech companies have been making moves like this as competition heats up.

This could have major implications for how we use technology going forward.
