Historical observations: Aug 19, 2026 – Aug 19, 2026. The previous receipt is no longer current. Assessment: Aug 19, 2026.
Creators film themselves inside or near a Waymo driverless car and react in real time to what it does, especially when it pulls over, stops unexpectedly, or behaves in a way that feels unsettling or funny. A lot of the videos are simple phone clips with the creator narrating, pointing at the empty driver seat, or showing the car moving without a human driver. The core format is: "look at this weird/surprising thing my self-driving car just did."
Examples
How to film it
Suggested, not observed- Record a 15-second Waymo ride where you film the empty driver seat, then cut to the moment the car stops or changes lanes and you react out loud.
- Make a dashcam-style clip from outside the car showing the Waymo arriving, pulling over, or navigating traffic, with text asking if it feels safe.
- Film a split-screen video: your face on one side, the windshield view on the other, while you narrate everything the car does in real time.
What we measured
51 distinct creator accounts in the observed sample. Use the examples to decide how this fits your channel.
- Counts are distinct accounts in our nightly sample, not platform totals.
Ideas to try
Suggested, not observed- A calm, first-person ride diary that focuses on the exact moment the car makes a weird decision is still less crowded than pure outrage clips.
