During recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, a number of Waymo driverless vehicles were destroyed, highlighting tensions surrounding surveillance. Critics argue that these autonomous vehicles represent a risk due to their surveillance capabilities, using cameras to record the environment. The protests' anger is not directed at Waymo itself, but rather at what these vehicles symbolize regarding broader issues of privacy and state surveillance. Waymo has since suspended its services in certain areas, responding to safety concerns amid civil unrest, marking the intersection of technology and societal unrest.
