Waymo is running a pilot program in Atlanta, paying DoorDashers to close the doors of its self-driving cars.

    If you leave it all the way open, the car just needs to drive a couple feet with decent acceleration to close it.

    If you ALMOST close it, but not all the way, that would require some sort of intervention.

      Nah, you just speed up then slam on the brakes to open it, then you can close it as you said.

        The door can latch but not be completely closed.

            But the sensor says the door is still open, so the computer won’t.
