Police pulled over a Waymo car for driving in the oncoming lane
The car did not get a ticket.
The car was apparently confused by some construction signs, and reportedly ran a red light before pulling over in a parking lot to let the officer talk to one of Waymo’s support representatives. In about two-and-a-half minutes of bodycam footage published by local publication AZCentral, t he officer told Waymo the car was driving in a construction zone when it “went into opposing lanes of traffic, which is real bad.” He then told a curious bystander what had happened, adding, “so I light it up and it takes off in the intersection.” A dispatch record reportedly said the car drove through a red light and ‘FREAKED OUT’ before it pulled over. In recent months, the cars have been recorded endangeringother road users, and both Cruise and Waymo have had a history of interfering with emergency responders.
