Report narrative

What was reported

A Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) in autonomous mode was traveling in the left lane on southwest-bound [XXX] toward [XXX] in San Francisco when a ball, immediately followed by a dog, entered the roadway from between parked cars on the left side of [XXX] directly into the path of the Zoox vehicle. The Zoox vehicle braked in response, but its underbody made contact with the dog. The Zoox vehicle operator then disengaged autonomous mode and brought the vehicle to a stop. The Zoox vehicle operator then reversed the vehicle to free the dog. The dog owner did not indicate injuries to the dog at the scene. The dog and its owner then returned to the sidewalk and the Zoox vehicle operator drove the vehicle from the scene. The police were not called. Zoox subsequently received an email alleging injuries to the dog, "abrasions behind its left front leg and a possible cracked rib."
