What was reported

On July [XXX], 2026 at 10:51 AM ET a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Washington, D.C. was in a collision involving an SUV on [XXX] NW near [XXX] NW. The Waymo AV was traveling northwestbound in the right lane on [XXX] NW in autonomous mode when it began to slow for a van, ahead in lane, turning right into a shopping center. While the Waymo AV was slowing, the test driver transitioned the Waymo AV into manual mode and continued to slow, and an SUV traveling northwestbound on [XXX] NW, partially in the right lane and partially in the left lane, maneuvered to the left as it approached the Waymo AV from behind, and the front right side of the SUV made contact with the rear left side of the Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was not engaged and a test driver was operating the Waymo AV in manual mode. 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.
