During peak congestion due to the World Cup in Los Angeles, frustrated commuters caught a Waymo trying to drive the wrong way through a jammed intersection.
Video shared by ABC 13 shows the red Waymo stopped on the wrong side of a double-line in Inglewood, California, forcing oncoming vehicles to merge into the farther lane. Though it mostly remains stopped at a red light while traffic crawls past, the very end of the video shows the terrifying moment the robocab starts rolling forward, straight into the oncoming lane.
Uhh, why is this Waymo on the wrong side the road? asked Kimoon Kim, the driver who recorded the video. Its supposed to be in the left turn lane.
Speaking to the local station, Kim said the Waymo then abruptly cut him off at the intersection so that it could rudely merge back into the correct lane and make a left turn.
