This is fascinating. Thanks for covering driverless cars, Kevin.

After that last snippy comment from the supervisor dude I would have said. "Ok great. I'll step out and walk off the property. This is not my car. You can work with the Waymo company on it and/or pay to tow it out of your lot."

He totally could have done that.

They should have remote manual driving capability, like a racing simulator style setup with a wheel and pedals. Then an employee can remote in and drive it manually to "un-stuck" it. Live stream camera data to them. That would save much more time than a physical dispatch, at least for navigating related issues.

This is amazing. I’m not the first to say this but it’s hysterical that they call the driver an “autonomous specialist”. 😂 He’s a driver. Autonomous mode has been canceled.

Yeah. I mean the driverless EV robotaxi concept seems inherently sustainable, on paper, because people only need to maintain the cars at their lot. But that whole idea collapses the second you need an entire team of humans employed to drive the goddamned cars around anyway. I imagine this is why Tesla is holding back on the rollout of their robotaxi service. They'll probably put it in the terms of service that by enabling Robotaxi and allowing your car to generate income, you're also required to have a phone number for them to text when a nearby Tesla gets stuck. lol

Chillax, he's just like most people in thinking that guy in back seat should stop being a punk and take control of the car. It's what I would've thought before seeing this channel and being made aware of these self-driving taxies. I actually would had been a lot more stern than this guy. Seriously, he was an angel here, considering. Before stumbling on this channel, I thought all self-driving cars required a driver with their hands on the wheel, ready to take control at any moment. That's obviously the paradigm of this guy too. I congratulate him for being as patient and kind as he was here.

Why did Kevin call for Waymo from a private, gated parking lot? Why didn’t Kevin ask support to stop the vehicle right away instead of letting it drive out of control around a lot with a lot of employees walking around doing work? Why didn’t Kevin force some sort of emergency shutdown of the car by attempting to open the door or something? The supervisor is just doing his job to look after his staff while some out of control car is roaming around the work area. If the car is glitched, how is he supposed to know it won’t glitch out and hit a USPS employee as they step out of their mail truck? Everyone, not just the supervisor, was being rude here.

To everyone dissing on the parking lot employee, he probably thought the guy in the backseat should jump in the front seat and take over. In this sense, he was actually being very polite about it. You can't really fault him for not being aware of the latest tech and how exactly it all works.
