Waymo said the incident led Mike Johns to be delayed by just over five minutes on the way to Phoenix Sky Harbor, but Johns said he missed his flight.

The man nearly missed his flight after the self-driving car drove him around and around, all while he was on the phone with a customer service rep who was unable to stop the wayward vehicle.

A man had the misfortune of becoming trapped inside a driverless Waymo taxi, which drove around a Scottsdale, Arizona, parking lot in circles instead of getting him to the airport for his imminent flight.
