A Waymo robotaxi pulled over and contacted police after detecting a firearm violation involving two juvenile passengers riding in the vehicle in San Francisco. The teens were found with a loaded AR-style ghost gun and were taken into custody and sent to juvenile hall. Waymo confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that the vehicle involved was one of its own, with a company spokesperson citing a 'violation of our terms of service involving a firearm' as the trigger for the response. The incident highlights how autonomous vehicle operators are increasingly building in real-time monitoring and law enforcement notification capabilities for safety violations detected during rides.
