What was reported

The subject vehicle (autonomous vehicle- AV) was stopped, in the far right turn lane on westbound [XXX], waiting to turn right onto northbound [XXX].

The AV, while remaining stationary, was struck from the rear by the MB. The driver of the AV signaled to the other vehicle to pull over safely in the adjacent parking lot. The driver's of both vehicles exchanged information and assessed the damage. Both vehicles had one occupant and there were no reported injuries, airbag deployments, or tow-aways. The damage to the subject vehicle is stated as scratches/markings of the right rear bumper, and the damage to the other vehicle is a bent frontal license plate.
