The man even says he almost missed his flight back home.
And while Waymo tells Gizmodo the issue has been resolved, its still not clear what went wrong.
That video spread far and wide on social media platforms.
Screenshots from a video posted by Mike Johns as he rode in a Waymo that just circled for about five minutes.Screenshots: LinkedIn
My Monday was fine till i got into one of Waymos humanless cars.
I get in, buckle up (safety first) and the saga begins, wrote Johns.
Is someone pulling a prank, is this car hacked?
It [felt] like a scene in a sci fi thriller.
My Waymo experience sucked.
Mind you I was on my way to the airport and nearly missed my flight.
Ill keep it old fashion and just Lyft or Uber, Johns continued.
Waymo also emphasizes the circling lasted about five minutes.
Johns toldABC15 Arizonathat he was frustrated by the experience and Its like people are the experiment.
Wheres the human connection to this?
Johns told CBS News.
Its just, again, a case of todays digital world.
A half-baked product and nobody meeting the customer, the consumers, in the middle.
This isnt the first time that Waymo cars have gotten very confused and seemingly gotten stuck in loops.
That vehicle didnt have a passenger at the time.
And it can be difficult to tell what went wrong from the passengers perspective.
At least until they put human drivers fully out of business.
At that point, they can just raise the price like they did after Uber decimated the taxi industry.
