About this tag
The waymo ojai tag covers Waymo's Ojai robotaxi interface, which adds Google Gemini to the passenger screen while keeping AI out of driving controls. The assistant handles cabin changes, trip information, local recommendations, and pullover requests, but cannot select routes, steer, accelerate, brake, or access real-time driving data.

This tag is relevant for discussions on AI integration in vehicles, safety boundaries, and the distinction between passenger-facing features and core driving systems.
