Mike Johns was on his way to the airport when the Waymo robotaxi began circling a parking lot non-stop

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.

    Yes, but as a customer, who is probably driving in circles for a while now and needs to catch a flight, I would want this fixed right now.

    I mean who am I going to ask to stop the car otherwise? How can you be so numb? Of course it’s not the CS-reps fault, but the customer is completely in the right to react like that in a stressy situation when they have no one else to help them?

      There is a button 12" from his face that says “Stop”. He could’ve pressed it.

        I saw no button.
        Watched the video again and man he stayed relatively calm. I have no idea wtf is wrong with y’all calling him a Karen…

          The button is on the back of the passenger seat. There’s a touchscreen with your ride details.
