"According to The SF Standard, Waymo's remote team detected "unusual activity" and called 911, though the vehicle beat emergency services to the hospital."
""Everyone is telling us to name the baby Uber," the father joked, before adding, "But we can't do that.""
""While this is a very rare occurrence," a Waymo spokesperson deadpanned, "some of our newest riders just can't wait to experience their first Waymo ride.""
A pregnant woman delivered a baby inside a Waymo robotaxi while traveling to UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco. Waymo's remote operations team detected unusual activity and called 911, but the vehicle reached the hospital before emergency services. The vehicle was removed afterward for cleaning. Waymo confirmed that a previous birth occurred in Phoenix, describing such events as very rare. The incident continues a long tradition of passengers giving birth in taxis and ride-shares worldwide, including previously reported cases in India and a 2017 California Uber delivery during Shabbat.
