john's was stuck in the waymo going through a loop for under seven minutes but he says it felt like forever which we all know that feeling of elongation when something's going wrong and you just feel like it's never going to end it ends up being seven minutes Particularly as he feared he would miss his flight and questioned whether the car had been hacked, it was his second time in a Waymo.

How did he get out? Well, a Waymo customer support specialist called into the car with Johns' prompting. The agent said she had received a notification that his car might be experiencing some routing issue. And she asked Johns to open his Waymo app and tap My Trip in the lower left corner of the app. And to which Johns responded, can't you just do it? You should be able to handle it.

Right. So here's a pro tip for Waymo riders, which I just learned from tech crunch. All Waymo vehicles have a pull over button available to writers at all times. It's located in the app and on the passenger screen. So if you're stuck or scared or something, there is a chicken exit. And apparently this fella didn't know about it. I didn't know about it.

I've never ridden a Waymo, so I have a better excuse than he has, but maybe it's not obvious where that button is. They probably don't want you pushing it accidentally or even very often as it defeats the purpose. But there it is. There is a Waymo chicken exit if you need it.

So I found Waymo's official list of cities. They are in Metro Phoenix, San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles. The Metro Phoenix territory includes downtown Scottsdale, Tempe, so it's not merely Phoenix proper. They're ramping up in Austin and Atlanta. In partnership with Uber, which I didn't know. Miami, we're headed your way next on the Waymo One app. Sign up so we can reach out.

So looking like not yet, but eventually. I was in Phoenix. That's the closest I got to riding a Waymo, but I didn't really care to have the experience enough and it cost more than the Uber did. And so I'm just like, same place. Let a human make some money. Less money for me, like less cost for me. Let's just skip it.
