So I guess #WaywardWaymos are a thing now?

Unoccupied, driverless #Waymo #cars have invaded a neighborhood near us, repeatedly #driving into a dead-end road, around the cul-de-sac, then driving out. They're not there to pick up passengers. But there are plenty of children and pets in the area.

The cars are lost. And on auto-repeat.
