Waymo Self-Driving Car Stuck on Rail Tracks in Phoenix

Waymo Self-Driving Car Stuck on Rail Tracks in Phoenix

A self-driving car from Waymo got stuck on train tracks in Phoenix, Arizona.

The passenger had to quickly get out and run away as a train was coming.

The car kept moving on the tracks even after the passenger left.

This happened in an area where there was construction, and the train tracks were new, which might have confused the car's system.

The company that runs the trains was told about the problem right away.

This isn't the first time Waymo cars have had issues.

Last month, some of their cars got stuck in San Francisco because of a power outage.

After this latest problem, people are saying that self-driving cars need stricter rules to make sure they are safe.
