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.

Shouldn't have gotten in that car in the first place, Mike. What a Karen.

He's a Karen, but it has nothing to do with the cars. Self driving cars will definitely be the norm in the future (as long as society doesn't collapse). This incident is so minor. It's only a story because the dude was an idiot and people love shitting on innovation
