Report narrative

What was reported

Other than a revision to the narrative clarifying the Waymo AV's behavior leading up to the collision, the content of this report is unchanged from the initial report submitted on November 16, 2024 [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION]. On Friday, November [XXX], 2024 at 06:10 PM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Tempe, Arizona was in a collision involving a passenger car on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling northbound on [XXX] approaching [XXX] when a passenger car, exiting a shopping complex, made contact with the rear passenger end of the Waymo AV. The Waymo AV initially detected the passenger car and yielded for the passenger car to allow it to turn onto [XXX]. Instead of turning onto [XXX] immediately, the passenger car creeped forward very slowly indicating that it intended to yield to the Waymo AV and make way for a cyclist passing by on the sidewalk. The Waymo AV predicted that the passenger car would yield in this situation and proceeded past the passenger car. When the Waymo AV was positioned directly in front of the passenger car, the passenger car accelerated out of the shopping center exit and drove into the rear passenger side of the Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. Both vehicles sustained damage. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vulnerable road user influenced the driving task of a vehicle involved. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
