Extended write-up of the Austin robotaxi standoff: passenger Chase Dowling explained that a Waymo turned right at a light directly into the wrong lane, stopping head-on in front of his Cybercab, while a second Waymo waited behind — boxing the Tesla in. The piece frames it as an expected awkward moment for early-stage robotaxis, citing Waymo's own stat of 95% fewer serious-injury crashes than human drivers over 271 million miles.
