This wasn’t the first time Waymo has tattled on alleged troublemakers. In July, Waymo contacted the San Mateo Police Department after two teens were found drinking alcohol and shooting toy guns in the back of a car, authorities said at the time.

No private citizen or company has the right to retain someone else against their will.

Don't you have something called "citizen's arrest" in the US? Like when a shop employee catches a thief, they're allowed to detain them until the cops show up?

    An AI camera in a self driving car is absolutely not a citizen, so therefore cannot do a citizens arrest, even if this fits into that definition.
