In a recent episode of the David Letterman talk show, the legendary host shared his exhilarating experience with Waymo’s self-driving car, known as the Whimo. As always, Letterman’s storytelling skills kept the audience captivated from start to finish.
Letterman started by recounting his encounter with the smaller delivery carts in Los Angeles, stating his distaste for the technological advancement. However, everything changed when he came across a shiny white Jaguar SUV with equipment indicating it was a Whimo. Amazed by the sight of a self-driving car, Letterman couldn’t help but express his joy and curiosity.
The amusing part of the story was when Letterman, in a burst of excitement, yelled “Hey, Whimo, [expletive] you!” from his car. Little did he know, Waymo’s monitoring system would record his interaction with the empty vehicle.
Letterman’s enthusiasm for self-driving cars was evident throughout the talk show segment. He expressed his desire to ride in a Whimo, raving about the convenience and the anticipation of finding forgotten items left by previous passengers. Letterman even playfully suggested that Waymo could use him for a commercial.
As the conversation continued, it became clear that Letterman’s love for Whimo was unexpected. Known for his rants against modern technological advancements, his newfound fascination with self-driving cars added a unique twist to his personality.
Letterman also mentioned that Waymo’s vehicles are currently available in select locations such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Texas, and possibly Arizona. He humorously speculated that Whimo might even be present in Muny, a local town.
In typical David Letterman fashion, he ended the segment by thanking viewers and inviting them to subscribe to the show, promising three months of free viewing. With his signature humor, Letterman bid farewell to the audience, leaving them with a memorable story about his encounter with the futuristic Whimo and his unexpected change of heart towards self-driving cars.
