“This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”
This combined with another recent article from some insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”
And yet I still know people who are just so chuffed about “never having to drive again.”
EDIT: Comments have pointed out that this story is, at best, overblown and semi-fabricated otherwise. Take it with a massive grain of salt. But feel free to discuss self-driving, waymo, etc in the comments!



I thought they did have a stop button. I recall a video James May made of a Waymo that had one. I could be wrong. But, the article doesn’t say anything about whether one was present and if the occupants tried it.
Edit: I just got home and rewatched the video. No, there’s no emergency stop button. There is a “pull over” button on the passenger touchscreen console and the app, but that’s about it. A bit concerning!
