Joel Johnson, a YouTuber that calls himself JJRicks Studios, captured the incident on camera from the backseat.

The Alphabet company has been testing its autonomous vehicles in the Phoenix area since 2017 and the YouTuber has been recording Waymo rides for over two years. The company offers ride-hailing services with a safety driver on board, as well as rides without human backup in a 50 square-mile service area.

About 12 minutes into the ride, the car attempted to turn into a lane that had been blocked off with construction cones. Mid-turn it stopped and the rider called an online tech for help.

The online tech instructed Johnson to stay inside the vehicle and keep his seatbelt on, in case the car started up again.
