San Francisco woman gives birth in a Waymo self-driving taxi

Move over, storks—there’s a new competition in the baby-delivery game, and it’s a driverless car with trust issues. In San Francisco this week, a woman casually turned a Waymo robotaxi into a rolling maternity ward while the car politely detected “unusual activity” (translation: screaming, fluids, and a brand-new human). The vehicle, unfazed by the miracle of life, calmly drove itself to the hospital ahead of the ambulance, then quietly asked to be taken out of service for what we can only assume was the world’s most intense detailing appointment. Waymo’s official statement? “We’re proud to serve riders from just seconds old.” Somewhere, Uber drivers are sweating.
