On May [XXX], 2025 at 8:50 AM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Paradise Valley, Arizona was in a collision involving an animal and subsequently an SUV on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling southbound on [XXX] in the leftmost lane, proceeding through a green light at the intersection with [XXX]. As the Waymo AV exited the intersection, a cat crossed [XXX] from the east side of the street, and began to enter the Waymo AV's lane of travel. As the Waymo AV braked, the front of the Waymo AV made contact with the cat, which subsequently ran away, and the Waymo AV came to a stop. The front of an SUV traveling directly behind the Waymo AV then made contact with the right rear of the stationary Waymo AV. A passenger car then braked to a stop behind the Waymo and to the left of the SUV. A second passenger car then made contact with the SUV and the first passenger car. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. All involved vehicles sustained damage. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vehicle involved was towed away and because of airbag deployment. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
