Two teens learn the hard way not to do toy gun drive-bys from a Waymo
3 months ago
- Two California teens were detained by police after misbehaving inside a Waymo robotaxi, which involved drinking alcohol and shooting gel beads (Orbeez) at people.
- The Waymo vehicle autonomously detected the misconduct, stopped itself, and alerted the San Mateo Police, who intervened.
- This incident follows a previous report where Waymo robotaxis reported adult passengers in Los Angeles for drinking alcohol inside the vehicle.
- In California, adult taxi passengers are exempt from open container laws, but ride-hailing passengers are not granted the same exception.
