A shocking video has resurfaced online of two men blocking a self-driving car to get the phone number of a woman passenger. The incident occurred on a Waymo, an American autonomous driving cab service, and left many people concerned about women’s safety.
The video shows the woman trapped in the car as two men stand in front of it, gesturing for her to share her phone number despite her repeated refusal. The men block the path, making it impossible for the car to move. The woman screams for them to leave, and they eventually do after a few minutes.
Waymo has stated that riders have access to 24/7 support agents who can help navigate such situations and coordinate with law enforcement. However, social media users are calling for stronger measures to protect women from harassment and intimidation.
The incident sparked a conversation about the “man vs bear” trend, where people tested the assumption that a man would be more aggressive towards a woman in a confrontational situation. The experiment found that most participants chose a bear over a man, highlighting the lingering fear of women’s safety.
