Waymo Drives Off With South Bay Man’s Luggage After Trunk Fails to Open
sfist.com
A Sunnyvale man says the Waymo that took him to the airport neglected to open the trunk for him to retrieve his luggage before driving off. The company wants him to pay for shipping, or take two complimentary Waymo rides to the depot in SF to retrieve it.

    Stole.

    Stealing. Thievery.

    If a person in a car did this, thats… what occured.

    Followed by extortion, on the part of Waymo.

    Report the person who issued the ‘remedy’ to this guy… report them to the police, for theft and extortion.

      Eh, shit gets left in cabs that drive off all the time.

      Some humans are so bad at remembering to get their own kids out of the car that new cars warn them to check the back seats.

      I’m not a fan of these fake automation services (where slave-wage workers have to fix the bullshit machines’ errors), but this was just a mistake.

      Funny thing is that all these tech assholes claim they don’t make mistakes. Sounds like they need sensors in the trunk to detect items before leaving with them.

      I still can’t wait to see these in snow, or on crazy New England town intersections. Still a decade away IMO, if ever.

    lol this happened to a friend of mine, they all had to form a blockade around the car to keep it from driving off while they figured out what to do. I think eventually they were able to call or reach someone that re-popped the trunk.
