A car thief in Los Angeles was outsmarted by an autonomous taxi and arrested after he failed in his attempt to steal the vehicle.
Police say 33-year-old Vincent Maurice Jones watched a passenger get out of a fully autonomous Waymo car on Saturday, and then took the opportunity to jump into the driver's seat and steal the car. However, he wasn't able to shift the vehicle into "Drive" and then a voice came on a speaker and told him to get out of the vehicle. When Jones refused, the LAPD was called and officers soon arrived to place him under arrest. He's charged with grand theft. (NBC News)
