A couple of weeks ago a WAYMO Taxi drove through an active crime scene.
A bit ago they had to patch their taxis firmware to prevent them running down children (something you'd think they already would be programmed to do).
Passengers have reported being held hostage by their taxi when it stopped suddenly and refused to move.
There's a laundry list of things that have been wrong with them. Some have had reasonable fixes (and some of those fixes should have been implemented before they were allowed on the road).
