""told him to get out of the vehicle, even though it was in the middle of the street.""
""Waymo - over the past few months - doesn't have a great track record of being overtly transparent with their data," said Billy Riggs, a professor at the University of San Francisco School of Management and the director of the Autonomous Vehicles and the City Initiative."
""Some of these situations are a little more complex," he said. "Similar situations are being reported as if they were the same, and they're not precisely the same.""
""That collision would have been a lot more severe at a higher speed," he added."
A passerby called first responders after hearing a male juvenile screaming for help and an officer overheard the passenger saying the Waymo instructed him to exit while in the middle of the street. Waymo said the teen opened the door while the vehicle was traveling 35 mph and attempted to exit before the vehicle had stopped. Criticism has focused on Waymo's transparency and real-world adaptation after a Dec. 22 power outage left many Waymo vehicles blocking San Francisco streets. The NTSB opened an investigation into Waymo behavior around school buses after Austin officials documented 19 dangerous passing incidents, and experts say some incidents are more complex than they appear.
