American self-driving company Waymo has deployed a large number of autonomous taxis in Los Angeles and San Francisco. These vehicles rely on lidar, radar, and cameras to construct real-time 3D environmental maps, enabling them to navigate autonomously on complex urban roads and communicate with cloud servers. However, these taxis frequently encounter issues with basic physical details, such as doors not being properly closed, passenger seatbelts getting stuck, and battery depletion, leading to vehicles being stranded on the roadside and requiring external manual assistance. This has given rise to a new type of 'gig work' for rescuing autonomous taxis.
