Seated in the back, the parents are seen beaming with joy as they enjoy every moment of the ride. Bendre revealed that their first ride in the driverless car lasted just 15 minutes. As the car arrives, it unlocks itself automatically, and the family takes their seats. Bendre then presses the start button to begin the ride.

Apurva captioned the video, “Took my parents for a ride in a Waymo, a driverless car in San Francisco and wow, what an experience. It felt safe, smooth and honestly more trustworthy than a manual driver. Our first 15-minute ride wasn’t enough, so we booked another one right after. My parents had a lot to say about the whole thing."

When a person asked, “So fun. What was their reaction?" another replied, “They said I drive better."
