Waymo Driverless Car Collides with Cyclist in San Francisco

A driverless Waymo vehicle collided with a cyclist in San Francisco, causing non-life-threatening injuries. Waymo stated that the collision occurred as the vehicle attempted to navigate a four-way intersection and the cyclist was occluded by a large truck before crossing into the vehicle's path. The incident comes amid the introduction of a bill giving local governments the power to regulate robotaxi services, and follows previous challenges faced by autonomous vehicle companies in the city, including a recent incident involving a Cruise robotaxi.
