What was reported
On June [XXX], 2026 at 7:45 PM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Emeryville, California was in a collision involving a passenger car on the southbound [XXX] on-ramp near [XXX] and [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling southeastbound in autonomous mode in the right lane of the southbound[XXX] on-ramp near [XXX] and [XXX]. The Waymo AV slowed in queue as it approached a ("one car per green") metered red traffic light at the freeway entrance. After slowing for a red light at the front of the queue past the stop line and immediately prior to the traffic light, the Waymo AV was proceeding forward after the light had turned green again. The passenger car traveling directly behind the Waymo AV proceeded forward, and the front of the passenger car made contact with the rear of the Waymo AV. The test driver of the Waymo AV then transitioned to manual mode. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode, and a test driver was present. Both vehicles sustained damage. The test driver of the Waymo AV alleged minor injuries. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vehicle involved was towed away. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
