Two Waymo Robotaxis Crashed Into Each Other, Confusing a Third Waymo and Blocking the Street

Waymo is having a weird week. A woman just gave birth in one of their robot taxis. The company also suffered a major software recall after a few cars blew through school bus stops. And now, in the midst of all that, there was a three-car pileup in San Francisco… and all three cars were Waymos. Yikes.

The scene, captured via TikTok video, looks like a Sergio Leone-style Mexican standoff, but with three driverless cars cycling through their programming to figure out what to do and coming up short on answers. Two Waymos were navigating a dead-end on Kearny and Vallejo, attempting multipoint turns at the same time, eventually turning straight into each other.
