When is a Waymo’s door not a door?

When it’s ajar.

I suppose asking customers to ensure the door is properly closed is too much.

Next thing we'll read, "Waymos have gotten so expensive!"

So, charge the passenger on top of the fare. I’m assuming they have an account or a credit/debit card number. Put up “close doors please or pay the restart fees” reminders and you’re good to go.

Imagine an actual robot sitting the car which can take care of things like this. Sounds like they are what is next.

Sounds like it is all Waymo trouble than it’s worth.

LOL...no precise GPS coordinates and the tow truck driver has to hoof it around the neighborhood to find the disabled car? How can a self-driving vehicle that knows where it is to the inch not provide precise GPS coordinates?

Waymo Pays Workers $22 To Close Doors on Stranded Robotaxis

I recall about 20-25 years ago taking taxis in Tokyo (with human drivers) and as you walked up to it the door would automatically open, then close after you got in. This is easy, sending a person out to do it is stupid.

New revenue stream for towing companies. Hire a guy to order a Waymo, rack up a low fare, exit the vehicle, and respond from 2 feet away when the request for service goes out.
