What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA video of a driverless Waymo stopped in the road near Universal has been viewed more than eight hundred thousand times, and honking can be heard.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWaymo's response is to add fifty-three square miles to its Orlando service area, for a total of one hundred twenty.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith us is a source familiar with the matter, speaking from a parking garage. Sir, where are you?
Bartholomew SneedI can't say. Level three. Forget I said level three.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUnderstood. The expansion includes the Orlando Science Center, City Hall and the Dr. Phillips Center. Did the company know the car would stop?
Bartholomew SneedNo. Well, and this is the part I can't say, the service area is one hundred twenty square miles. That's from inside.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, that number was released by the company. At a podium. On purpose.
Bartholomew SneedThen it's been leaked twice. Look, the stopped car had a man walk up and try to talk to someone inside.
Bartholomew SneedNobody was visible driving it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is also in the report. Earlier this month, another video appeared to show a Waymo running a red light near Universal.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWaymo said it was investigating.
Bartholomew SneedInvestigating. Between us, they investigate everything. I heard the cars have a, um, a seventh sense.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA News 6 crew saw several Waymos in the tourist district that appeared to follow the signals safely. Is that classified?
Bartholomew SneedTop secret. Also my ticket says I owe eleven dollars.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVerdict on your credibility: zero out of five.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, the stalled car now has fifty-three more square miles to stall in, including City Hall, so the honking has a new jurisdiction.
Bartholomew SneedThat's the part I can't say.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, that garage validates for ninety minutes. Your source is expiring.
