Ojai on Fire (4th of July)
Seen people asking about it. No information on what happened. Could be firework related maybe?

Anyone else with Ojai access have the select vehicle option grayed out?
Guessing it has to do with the 30 min+ wait times today and the Ojai on fire from the other post. 😭
Anyone noticed that in LA there is no ojai access it just says first available. I’ve tried multiple pick ups and drop offs all around the service area and it does not give you the option. Is it just me or is anyone else having the issue?
Waymo got stuck at drop off and support couldn’t get the vehicle to move. Support couldn’t get the roadside assistance dispatched or a tow truck and I was sitting there for 110 minutes. It was not fun and I couldn’t even book a new ride. (video coming soon)
Saw an Ojai on the freeway yesterday, hopefully this is a good sign for the (hopefully soon) return of freeway access
Not only do we not support autonomous vehicles because they’re taking jobs away from the working class but we also do not support autonomous vehicles that frikin stalls and malfunctions in the prisidio on one of the busiest nights in American history.
Seriously!
I only wanted to go see fireworks at the prisidio with my fam! Instead, the show is a bust (I get it, we can’t do much about fog but also SF boasted 30 mins of fireworks but only delivered on 15) and we get stuck in traffic from 10.15 all the way to 12.30 because all the frikin Waymo’s ordered to the event had malfunctioned!!!
Do better SF and screw you google, yall screwed up my Fourth of July. You had anticipated that the turn would be that of thousands and encouraged people to take bart/cab service and yet could not handle such a turn out in a timely fashion. I barely got to even see any fireworks because of your crap!!! Idk why people are even taking these crap vehicles when the price is nearly identical to that of an uber (Lyft is a bit cheaper) and at least you have someone troubleshooting everything themselves.
Pictured is the numerous POS Waymo’s stalled behind the cars and in the road preventing traffic from flowing.
Nationally:
From 1,500+ vehicles in May 2025 to ~3,900 in June 2026 = roughly +2,400 vehicles over ~13.5 months → ~6 cars/day net.
A bunch of Waymo‘s are just pulling over turning on their hazards and are giving a hazard on their roof sensor. The doors aren’t open so it’s very confusing. Anybody know why maybe it’s just trying to unclog traffic I don’t know.
I always get excited to see how Waymo celebrates the holidays. The rainbow for pride and being reminded not to forget your holiday cheer with the reindeer antlered Waymo have been two of my favs. I thought maybe there’d be a flag, maybe even an upside down flag today at least.
Celebrating my 310th ride in an Ojai. This thing is definitely an upgrade.
Happy July!

(LA) Thought the Toyota billboard was a funny addition
Now if only the speakers weren’t so mediocre in the Ojai.
Is there a limit to how many free rides I can get with the new vehicles? Having the time of my life exploring SF right now lol
I live in the Phoenix area. I took an Ojai home. After I opened the door, entered the vehicle, and I had issues with the door closing. Same thing happened after the ride dropped me off. You may need to contact support about this. They have flagged my ride but if anyone has a similar issue, they are looking into the issue. I didn’t see anything blocking the door that would cause the stoppage.
Hope this was a one off issue as the rest of the ride was enjoyable
Ojai started glitching during drop off. 🥲😂
My announcements are set to “reduced” , so I don’t know what was happening.
