What was reported

On January [XXX], 2026 at 2:58 AM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in San Francisco, California was in a collision involving a traffic cone on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling northwestbound on [XXX] in the right lane when it slowed to a stop for a queue of traffic for a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. After the light turned green and traffic ahead advanced, the Waymo AV proceeded forward. A pickup truck traveling northwestbound on [XXX] in the left lane proceeded forward and a rear seat passenger of the pickup truck threw a traffic cone from the window and into the roadway, and the traffic cone landed in the Waymo AV's lane of travel. As the Waymo AV proceeded forward the front of the Waymo AV made contact with the traffic cone. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. The Waymo AV sustained damage. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vehicle involved was towed away.
