Police officers in San Bruno didn’t have to look far for a traffic violation Friday night — a driverless Waymo pulled an illegal U-turn right in front of their patrol car.
It has since deployed cars in Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae and Burlingame, with limited service in Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos and parts of Sunnyvale.
Waymo also has plans to expand to San Jose and San Francisco International Airport in the coming months.
While moving violations are difficult to impose, San Francisco has regularly issued parking tickets to Waymo vehicles.
“Compared to human drivers, Waymo drivers had 92% fewer crashes with injuries to pedestrians, 82% fewer crashes with injuries to cyclists, and 82% fewer crashes with motorcyclists,” the company said.
