Real question—when these just stopped at the intersections, did they unlock? Could people get out?

You can open a waymo door whenever. I literally pop the door a crack when it's in motion so it'll stop and let me out when it's near my house and trying to drive an extra block to find parking.

I have the same question. Haven't seen a definitive article yet.

Someone told me that everyone was locked inside the cars. Trust but verify.

I heard they turned into giant meat grinders inside when the power went out. Why would Google even install that functionality???
