Yesterday’s Waymo crash in Arizona does not involve self-driving, but some day it will
On Jan 30, a crash was reported between a Waymo Chrysler Pacifica minivan and another vehicle, causing minor injuries to the safety driver. Reports suggest the other car acted erratically and cut quickly in front of the Waymo vehicle, causing it to rear-end the other car. According to Waymo, the vehicle was being driven manually, with autonomous systems off, on its way back to the Waymo depot in Chandler, AZ. Early reports that a passenger was on board were incorrect.
