""This s*** won't let me out," the man shouted after being confronted, in a video shared by the woman."
""They put me in here," he added, accusing unspecified "people" of trapping him."
""We're committed to keeping our riders safe and earning the trust of the communities where we operate," a spokesperson told the broadcaster. "This experience was unacceptable, and we are actively implementing changes to address this.""
""It seems extremely bizarre that Waymo, armed to the teeth with cameras and capable of detecting left-behind items, was unable to detect the security/safety threat of a human being stowed in the luggage area," one user argued."
A woman hailing a Waymo autonomous ride for her daughter discovered a stranger hiding in the vehicle's trunk. The man shouted that he could not get out and accused unspecified people of putting him there. Two police officers detained the man while a Waymo representative spoke to the woman over the vehicle's sound system. Detectives are working with Waymo to review footage, and the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating. Waymo advised riders to double-check cars and call 911 if something seems off and stated it is implementing changes to address the incident. Online users questioned how onboard cameras and sensors failed to detect a person in the luggage area.
