A content creator with a stop sign on his t-shirt managed to stop Waymo's robotaxis in their tracks in Arizona
An Arizona content creator has made a t-shirt with stop sign to see what Waymo 's autonomous test vehicles will do. In a video, the company's robotaxis can be seen stopping for the t-shirt on several occasions. The uploader suggests that the Waymo vehicle may be confusing him with a construction worker holding a rotating stop sign. Companies that develop autonomous vehicles often refer to the unexpected scenarios encountered while driving as edge cases.
To see if that was the case, Carr tried again, this time showing the autonomous vehicle his stop-sign t-shirt from the sidewalk, and it appears to have worked. From the sidewalk, Waymo's autonomous test vehicle still stops.

In the dark, the I-Pace was less consistent, stopping in some scenarios, but not others.
