When the support team buzzed in to check in on the unidentified passenger, the woman broke the news: She was in full-blown labor.<\/p>\n
The frantic tech support agents dialed 911, but by the time they pulled up to the hospital, the woman had already successfully delivered her newborn solo in the backseat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the first baby to be born inside a Waymo vehicle,\u201d the Google-owned company said, trying to spin the chaotic scene into a hallmark moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be a trusted ride for moments big and small, serving riders from just seconds old to many years young,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was promptly taken out of service afterward for deep cleaning\u2013because even the most advanced AI isn\u2019t programmed to handle that kind of clean up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Talk about a special delivery!
