"causing the human motorists driving in the correct direction to cautiously come to a halt, not unlike hikers encountering a bear. The incident was captured in footage uploaded to Reddit. For a split second, it shows the Waymo flash its emergency signal, before switching to its turn signal. The robotaxi then turns in the opposite direction indicated by its blinker and pulls into a gas station, taking its sweet time."
"This month, for example, Waymo recalled a software patch after its robotaxis were caught blowing past stopped school buses with active warning lights and stop signs, including at least one incident where a Waymo drove right by students who were disembarking. Twenty of these incidents were reported in Austin alone, MySA noted, prompting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open an investigation into the company."
A Waymo fully driverless taxi was filmed driving the wrong way on a frontage road in Austin, Texas, flashing emergency signals and then using a turn signal before turning the opposite way and slowly pulling into a gas station. Waymo driverless cabs have been recorded ignoring stopped school buses with active stop signs and warning lights, at least once passing students who were disembarking. Twenty such incidents were reported in Austin, prompting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open an investigation. The cabs have also failed to stop for law enforcement, including driving near an active police standoff.
