Waymo is temporarily suspending its services in specific areas of San Francisco and Los Angeles following vandalism targeting its robo-taxis during protests against the Trump administration and ICE activities. Several vehicles were damaged, including instances of spray-painting and arson in both cities. The company stated that its vehicles were likely not the intended targets, but rather caught up in the chaotic environment. This decision follows a history of vandalism towards Waymo vehicles since their launch two years ago, with vehicles previously damaged during events like the Lunar New Year celebrations.
Waymo is suspending service in parts of San Francisco and Los Angeles due to vandalism incidents, primarily linked to ongoing anti-ICE protests.
We do not believe our vehicles were intentionally targeted, but rather happened to be present during the protests, a spokesperson for Waymo said.
