Man launches “world’s first Waymo DDoS” by ordering 50 robotaxis to dead-end street

SMRTR summary

Tech prankster Riley Walz orchestrated what he called the "world's first Waymo DDoS" by having 50 people simultaneously order robotaxis to San Francisco's longest dead-end street, then refusing to get in when the self-driving cars arrived. Waymo responded by temporarily disabling all rides within a two-block area until morning, with each no-show resulting in a $5 fee for the pranksters.
