Imagine police chasing a robot and yelling STOP at it, while it tries to flee with humans held hostage. Why doesn’t the robot stop when ordered? Or more to the point why isn’t there a stop button that police remotely activate?

Waymo keeps turning people into hostages, scaring customers so badly they never want to get in one again.

Records show there were seven cases on Bay Area roads just in one day last month.

In a statement sent to San Francisco ABC affiliate KGO, Waymo says they’ve identified improvement areas for their cars in construction zones.

They’ve also voluntarily restricted freeway access while they implement those improvements.

It’s a move supported by Slade, who says he and his fiancé even feared for their lives.

“In that moment it’s like, ‘oh this technology is not ready. This is 100% not ready.’ If something else had gone wrong, someone in that road might have got hit. We might have crashed in the car,” Slade said.

He’s not wrong.

“There were signs. There were lights. There were cones. And it went through the cones and then sped up straight away,” Slade said.

To make matters even worse, Slade said a nearby highway patrol car began chasing them after seeing what was going on.

“Shouting, ‘Stop Waymo. Stop Waymo. Stop Waymo.’ We’re like- what the heck is going on?” Slade said.

Shouting stop should work. In fact, anyone on the street should be able to shout stop at a Waymo anytime, just like a human driver.

Seven failures a day isn’t sustainable. The robots under the banner of AI are ignoring all their warnings, ignoring human commands, and rushing towards increasing public danger. It literally bypasses guardrails.
