Waymo Barges Into Path of Presidential Motorcade in Dallas, Freezes to Jazz

A Waymo carrying an FT journalist refused police hand signals diverting traffic for the presidential motorcade, sat frozen as the last civilian car on the road while a Secret Service agent warned it would be crushed, kept playing soft jazz, and only crawled off after the passenger gave up and walked. Waymo apologized and blamed a wait for remote assistance.
