On October [XXX], 2025 at 11:33 PM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Los Angeles, California was in a collision involving a passenger car on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling eastbound on [XXX] in autonomous mode and came to a stop to stage a maneuver towards the curb and to yield to a passenger car traveling westbound on [XXX]. After the passenger car passed the Waymo AV, the Waymo AV proceeded forward, came to a stop, and then reversed into a vacant space at the curb in between two parked passenger cars. The Waymo AV came to a stop at the curb. The test driver of the Waymo AV then transitioned to manual mode and reversed, and the rear of the Waymo AV made contact with the front of the passenger car that was parked behind the Waymo AV.
