Passengers Say They Were Trapped In Driverless Taxi Stopped Mid-Street, But Waymo Blames 'User Error'

In a Tiktok, Becky Navarro claims that their WayMo Driverless Taxi 'trapped' them and would not let them out.

A self-driving taxi in Austin, Texas, left passengers stranded in the middle of traffic last week, raising anew concerns about the safety of autonomous vehicles.

Despite claims from Waymo that passengers can exit at any time, this incident brings to attention some of the ongoing issues with these driverless cars and the regulatory gaps that allow them onto busy streets.
