A high-speed getaway in a self-driving car has left a thief on the run after allegedly stealing a pair of expensive yoga shorts. The bizarre incident occurred in a Waymo vehicle, marking a rare instance where a self-driving car has been involved in a crime. The thief allegedly snatched the shorts from a passenger and made a quick escape, but the Waymo car's advanced tracking system allowed authorities to track the vehicle and identify the suspect. The incident raises questions about the potential for self-driving cars to be used in illicit activities, and whether their advanced technology can be exploited by malicious individuals.
