> Can a Waymo prevent a carjacking when someone places traffic cones in front of it?

Yes, actually, that's an advantage of a Waymo over a regular car. I believe they have a perfect record against carjackings despite several theft attempts. The Waymo computer isn't easily intimidated at gunpoint.

What do regular drivers do during a carjacking? They get carjacked. There are about 30,000 incidents per year in the US.
