SAN FRANCISCO – A trio of driverless Waymo cars involved in what’s being described as a “standoff” has gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n
TikTok user @chii_rinna posted the Dec. 6, which now has more than 3 million views.<\/p>\n
“These Waymos are causing a traffic jam,” she said on her TikTok video, the hum of the robot cars buzzing in the background.<\/p>\n
A third Waymo, traveling downhill, is unable to get through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then a man comes out of his garage, dubbing the white cars stuck in the middle of the street as a “Waymo standoff.”<\/p>\n
“I’m just trying to get out of here,” the man said, to which @chii_rinna laughs.<\/p>\n
“This is so funny,” she says on the video, noticing the standoff occurred because the cars seemed to have hit each other.<\/p>\n
In a followup TikTok, @chii_rinna shows that a man in a yellow vest came to address the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a statement, Waymo officials said that while making a multi-point turn on a dead-end street, two Waymos made “minor contact at low speed.”<\/p>\n
“We are looking into this further, and when we encounter situations like this, we are able to learn from them and make improvements,” a Waymo representative said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
