The world's first: WAYMO DDOS
We didn't actually get in the cars. They left after about 10 min and charged a $5 no show fee. Waymo handled this well. I assume this isn't much different than if a big concert had just ended. Eventually, they disabled all rides within a 2 block vicinity until the morning "
Apparently the event pictured happened in July, even though the tweet is from October.
