Waymo: Inglewood man’s ride to Phoenix airport takes a twist after his self-driving car gets stuck while going in circles

Monday January 6, 2025 11:24 p.m.

A passenger who took Waymo to the Phoenix airport had an unexpected ride when the self-driving car started going in circles.

A Southern California man’s ride to the airport took an unexpected turn after his Waymo got stuck in circles.

Mike Johns was on his way to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport last Monday when the self-driving car got stuck turning around a roundabout in a parking lot.

He described what was going through his mind as he spun: “If we get to the tenth loop, should I jump in the driver’s seat?…What happens next? Because the car is always under control. I could bench press. 300 and above, but am I able to control this? »

Johns says the car looped for several minutes before finding a solution and the car pulled out of the parking lot.

He suspects the airport layout may have caused confusion in the car.

Waymo said the ride was only delayed five minutes and the passenger was refunded for the trip. He finally flew back to Los Angeles.
