Police in Northern California detain two 15-year-olds after an alleged joy ride in a self-driving Waymo, according to reports. The Independent says officers detained the teens after they were seen drinking and firing water beads while inside the vehicle as it traveled around town. The incident involves a Waymo operating in an urban area, and police action follows the alleged misuse of the autonomous car while it was in service. The Winnipeg Free Press reports the same event, describing the police detaining two teens following the joy ride in the Waymo. Across coverage, authorities present the teenagers as suspects in conduct that allegedly occurred during the ride, including drinking and shooting water beads. The reports do not provide additional details on charges, the outcome of any investigation, or whether the teens face criminal or juvenile proceedings. Both accounts focus on the detention and the alleged behavior during the vehicle trip, framing the incident as a misuse of an autonomous ride rather than a traffic collision or system malfunction.
