Teens Turn Waymo Into Wild Ride | Oakland News

Two teens turned a Waymo self-driving car into a chaotic summer playground—drinking, firing Orbeez beads like a toy gun at other vehicles. The car’s remote operator calmly called it a “mechanical issue” and tipped off police, who showed up with five officers for a high-risk stop. Instead of a gun, they found Orbeez. The cops joked: “Parents, do you know where your teens are? Waymo does!” The kids were released after being taken in, and the case now rests with the DA for possible charges. It’s a wild reminder that even in driverless cars, mischief can escalate—and tech is now watching, reacting, and calling the cops.
