Waymo #67 Forced to Retire After Failing Written Driving Test for 20th Time

Sources Say It Repeatedly Misses Questions About “Driving” and “Safety”

PHOENIX—Waymo #67 has officially been forced into early retirement after failing its written driving test for the 20th consecutive time, marking what officials are calling “a disappointing but expected outcome for a car.”

According to DMV staff, the vehicle showed confidence going in, reportedly rolling up to the testing center with what one examiner described as “a strong sense of direction, almost like someone was controlling it.”

“It breezed through the ID check,” said examiner Carlos Mendez. “But once we got to the written portion, it just… unraveled. At one point it just stood there, staring at us and blocking other test takers from taking theirs.”

Sources say Waymo #67 struggled particularly with questions involving basic road scenarios, repeatedly failing to identify right-of-way situations and flagging pedestrians as “obtainable points” rather than people.
