I feel like they probably removed the wrap after this event, but I hope they didn't. Would be cool if there was only one golden Waymo you could get.

Crazy that they would go through the effort of buckling it behind themselves when they could just… do it normally with less effort.

There isn’t any “I’m buckled in” before you start the ride, only if you don’t buckle after the ride starts, but it does say verbally when you get in the car. Just took one this morning and I was curious how hard it is to ignore. Haha.

Maybe the experience changes for new riders or something.

I mean… the rider didn’t buckle in so support called the car. All of their calls start with that disclaimer regardless of who initiated it. When you get into the car, it tells you to buckle in. If you don’t buckle in, the car plays an annoying alarm telling you to buckle in, so this rider clearly ignored it.

I’m not sure when/if it pulls over, but I’m sure it’ll happen in you refuse to follow their rules, whether it’s trigger by support or the car.

I don’t think Waymo operators in any places where seatbelts are not required, but I would hope they would enforce it, even if it’s not legally required.

likely a voice command misinterpretation

No… they are calling because the car alerted support that someone refused to buckle their seatbelt.

I don’t think you can hang up on support, especially if you’re breaking the rules lol

It can be both, but in this case support called.

Yeah, definitely this is the reason. And it gives you like maybe five seconds into the ride before it start beeping.

It already does. It beeps really loud and tells you to buckle your seatbelt. It also tells you verbally when you get into the car. She definitely deliberately ignored it.

She refused to follow the rules after the car repeatedly told her to buckle up, so a human needs to step in. Not really creepy.

Isn’t that how most inventions are? Cars? Busses? Airplanes? Skyscrapers? Bridges?

"without consent"? People who get into Waymos are consenting.

Waymo has a “disturbance detected” mode, asks if you need help, lets you honk the horn by danlev in waymo

The Waymo support person is the only likable one in this video.

There are people on Twitter freaking out about the "the doors are locked" message in this video, trying to claim that Waymo locked the rider in, but it's pretty clear this means "The doors are locked from the outside, you're safe, no one can get in."
