Two teenagers learned the hard way that a robotaxi makes a lousy accomplice. The pair were arrested in San Mateo, California, earlier this week after it came out that they had allegedly been shooting Orbeez (water beads) and drinking alcohol in the back of one of Waymo’s self-driving vehicles, which promptly called police and parked in a lot until officers arrived. The snitch, it turns out, was the ride itself.

 

Local media reports place the two 15-year-olds in the Waymo on Monday afternoon, cruising the streets and leaning out the windows with realistic-looking guns as they allegedly fired small polymer Orbeez beads into the road.
