A Waymo car ended a ride early, then the company told the passenger to get an Uber

A Waymo taxi stopped about 0.3 miles from a rider's hotel in San Francisco; support suggested he "request another ride, probably Uber or Lyft," and Waymo later refunded the fare.
Waymo said the halt was due to a restriction over planned protest activity — part of recent hiccups that include cars entering floodwaters, a software recall and service suspensions in several cities.
The rider praised other Waymo trips for their precision but said the episode left him questioning whether the system is ready for denser places like New York.
