Waymo driverless car strikes bicyclist in San Francisco, causes minor injuries


Tensions in San Francisco around robotaxis are high.

The incident, which was first reported by Reuters, occurred at 3:02PM on February 6th at the intersection of 17th and Mississippi streets in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. Last year, Waymo’s chief rival Cruise was involved in a much more serious incident in which a pedestrian was struck by a hit-and-run driver, launching her into the path of a driverless vehicle. And key footage from the car’s cameras wasn’t received by some regulators, including the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
