Waymo Driverless Cars: Problems and Tests
Introduction
Waymo makes cars that drive themselves. They are testing these cars in the USA and the UK. Some things are not working well.
Main Body
In California, a car did not open its trunk. A man left his bags in the car. The car drove away with the bags. Waymo later helped the man get his bags back. In London, the cars got lost on a small street. The cars went into a dead end. They had to turn around many times. Now, the cars do not go on that street. Some people worry about safety. A car hit a cat in San Francisco. Other cars drove past school buses. Waymo says their cars are safer than human drivers. In London, a human driver still sits in the car to help.
Conclusion
Waymo is still testing its cars in cities. They want to make the cars better and safer.
