Mike Johns boarded a driverless Waymo taxi to an airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, but it began spinning in circles in a parking lot.
He filmed the moment he was trapped in the vehicle, unable to stop the car or get help.
Johns said he almost missed his flight.
So where’s the big red button called, “emergency stop”?
Literally right in front of his face. There’s a touchscreen on the seat back with a button to pull over.
It sounds like the tech support agent was trying to get him to do just that on his phone… But I haven’t used Waymo before, so I’m not certain about that.

It’s also on the big screen right in front of you when your sitting in one. He also could have opened the door and it would have immediately stopped.
I’m guessing the “open the door and the car will stop” system was built by the same people who built the “get in this car and it’ll go to your destination” system.
What is your point? If he didn’t try in the video, you can’t say that wouldn’t have worked. In my own experience, it stops every time the door is open.
