Mike Johns boarded a driverless Waymo taxi to an airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, but it began spinning in circles in a parking lot.

He filmed the moment he was trapped in the vehicle, unable to stop the car or get help.

Johns said he almost missed his flight.

Has it been hacked? Jesus, no! That would’ve been way worse. It’s a parking lot so probably the car can’t find its exit.

What bothers me is that the woman in the other end doesn’t have the option to control the car herself. That would’ve been the very first thing to do.

Like 30 seconds into the phone call she flat out says they're taking control remotely.

He just keeps talking nonsense to try and make it take longer for the video. Probably wasn't even going to the airport lol.

Dude's whole job is this stupid shit and convincing people he's a big enough deal they should pay him to talk to them
