"A Los Angeles man said he recently missed his flight home after getting trapped on his way to the airport in a Waymo that wouldn’t stop making circles in a parking lot. ...“I got a flight to catch. Why is this thing going in a circle? I’m getting dizzy,” Johns said. “It’s circling around a parking lot. I got my seat belt on. I can’t get out of the car. Has this been hacked? What’s going on? I feel like I’m in the movies. Is somebody playing a joke on me?”

I had to write a poem on this one too LOL
I'm stuck in a Waymo, going round and round
The robot's lost, route can't be found!
Around the circle it goes and it goes
When will it leave, nobody knows
This AI thing, it's getting to me
Alas, from this we cannot flee
The billionaires can't stomach human drivers, no
There's not enough profit in employing people, so
You get robots, and AI, more and more
Soon, it will be automated, the entire store
No drivers, just people out of work
Living in bushes, homeless, paying a billionaire jerk
#poem (human)
@ai6yr There had better also be a mechanical unlock on the door, just in case the thing decides to halt and catch fire.
Swirling overhead slowly
Waymo, let me out!
