All it takes to disable this $200,000 machine is about 50 cents worth of painter’s tape.

If you’ve followed any tech or automotive news whatsoever, you’ve probably heard about Waymo, the self-driving taxi service that’s deployed cars in several major cities across the U.S.

However, just because you ride in them, that doesn’t mean they actually work. People have been stuck in cars that won’t stop driving in circles, the cars can be easily tricked by people with cones and stop-sign T-shirts, and even when the cars are left alone, they can get stuck in loops continuously honking at each other!

I know, who *wouldn’t* want this in their city?

So, if your town has introduced self-driving cars, and you’re not too keen on the technology, it turns out that it’s pretty easy to get the car to shut down. All you need is a little masking tape, as this Instagram user shows.
