Wait.. So. They don't have any way to close the door on their own after verifying there is no passenger anymore? Ok, so, this could be EASILY exploited to shut down a entire city. Or, in this case. Cost the company a shit load of money and guarantee a "doordash" request.

From the post:

>It still feels like a technological marvel: Waymo’s autonomous cars are now transporting passengers across six cities. Alas, this driverless future comes with its own set of problems. These vehicles can be rendered inert if a passenger accidentally leaves the door open. According to a Reddit post, one DoorDash driver discovered this issue when an odd request appeared in their queue. Instead of making a delivery, the driver was offered $6.25 to drive less than one mile to a Waymo vehicle and close its door. After “verified completion,” they would get an extra $5.

The last time I heard this story they were paying tow truck drivers to do it. That must have cost them a fortune. Obviously they found someone cheaper.

They should just offer ride credits to other people using their app.

The cars can probably lock their doors once they’re closed properly. You’d have to get someone else to book a ride, open the door, then cancel the ride, over and over.
