An attorney experienced an unexpected situation during his first Waymo ride when the vehicle entered a multi-level parking structure filled with self-parking cars. The attorney described the transition from normal human driving to a 'robot world' with confusion about the vehicle's movements. After reaching out to a Waymo representative, he was guided back to his route. Waymo later explained that the robotaxi misinterpreted its path. Despite the mishap, the attorney appreciated the ride and acknowledged the technology's imperfections, expressing openness to future experiences.
"What was crazy about this parking structure was that I went from normal humanity into robot world. Self-driving vehicles going up and down the floors of this multi-level parking garage parking itself. And I was in this vehicle, not sure of what I was supposed to do."
"Yes, I made it, I'm safe. But the robot almost took control."
"I do realize that technology is not perfect and there's a ways to go for this Waymo to be really perfect."
