You’ll never want to take a Waymo robotaxi again after you see what it did during an active police standoff

A viral video circulating this week shows an autonomous Waymo vehicle rolling directly into the middle of an active LAPD standoff, surprising everyone involved. The clip, recorded by a nearby witness, captures the self-driving car turning left and gliding directly toward a line of armed police officers.

The scene was pure chaos, complete with a police helicopter circling overhead and officers shouting commands. Right beside a truck, a suspect lay face down on the pavement, looking up at the Waymo as it crept into view, per Daily Dot. Bystanders filming the event were captured nervously laughing, because the whole thing looked less like real life and more like a scene that had wandered onto the set of a ridiculously intense action film.
