"It doesn't know what to do!," one officer standing in front of the confused car shouts across the intersection to the officer wearing the camera.
After the officers turn away, the taxi starts inching forward again, eliciting an expletive from one officer. One goes to block its path while the other radios to the dispatcher, asking if they can contact Waymo for help. After speaking with a Waymo rep through the car's speakers, one officer gets the car shifted into park. A few minutes later, someone shows up to rescue the car and drives it away.
"We work closely with public safety officials to ensure the safe introduction of our technology in every market that we operate in. As part of the training, Waymo outlines best practices, shares its first responder guide and provides a phone number to reach Waymo directly in the event of a stop," the spokesperson said.
