A student was involved in a low-speed collision with an autonomous vehicle near Grant Elementary School on last week, though no injuries were reported, according to Santa Monica police.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:40 a.m. near 24th Street and Pearl Street, adjacent to the school campus.
The autonomous vehicle was operated by Waymo, which stated the pedestrian "suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV, moving directly into our vehicle's path."
Following the collision, the pedestrian stood up immediately and walked to the sidewalk, according to Waymo, which said it called 911.
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District confirmed it is aware of the incident and said the student is safe.
