Other than an update to Highest Injury Severity Alleged from Unknown to Serious in reflection of notice of an allegation of injury received by Waymo, the content of this report is unchanged from the initial report submitted on May 14, 2024 [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION]. On May [XXX], 2024 at 12:58 AM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Los Angeles, CA was in a collision involving a passenger car on eastbound [XXX] between [XXX] and [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling with a test driver present behind a box truck in the number 3 lane of eastbound [XXX] near the [XXX] when a passenger car traveling at a high rate of speed approached the Waymo AV from behind. The passenger car partially entered the number 2 lane as the front right corner of the passenger car made contact with the rear left corner of the Waymo AV. The passenger car then made contact with the center median and came to a stop. The Waymo AV was transitioned into manual mode, and the test driver stopped the Waymo AV to the right-hand shoulder. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode, and a test driver was present (in the driver's seating position). Both vehicles sustained damage. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because an individual involved was transported from the scene to a hospital for medical treatment, a vehicle involved was towed away, and an airbag deployed. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
