Waymo Driverless Taxi Gets Stuck in Chick-fil-A Drive-Thru, on Camera

Waymo driverless cars cars might not be sentient yet … but, at least one tried to pick up a bite to eat Monday night — and ended up causing a massive traffic jam at Chick-fil-A.

Hungry night owls tried to hit up a storefront for the popular chicken chain in Santa Monica Monday night … only to fall in line behind a Waymo taxi, which stalled out in a drive-thru entrance.

Photos show the car has its lights on, but no one’s home — quite literally, in this case. Eyewitnesses told KTLA-TV workers crowded around the vehicle around 9:30 PM as it attempted to back up, before screeching to a halt again … probably realizing it didn’t have the money for a meal.

Unclear if anyone was inside trying to get a chicken sandwich or if the car was simply lost. Either way, the car’s detour held up the line so long the drive-thru-only restaurant ended up closing before several hungry potential customers could order.

The Waymo team confirmed to KTLA the vehicle got stuck … and, they had to go recover the car from the site.

This isn’t the first time a Waymo car has had some trouble navigating … just a couple months ago, one passenger claimed he ended up missing his flight ’cause his Waymo just kept circling a parking lot.

In an incident last summer, a police officer pulled over a Waymo that drove into oncoming traffic … and got quite the surprise when he realized no one was in the driver’s seat.
