Waymo LLC Unexpected or inappropriate behaviour — San Francisco, CA, US — October 2022
What is observable from the evidence
No individually observed facts are recorded for this record; see its structured details and sources instead.
Automation status
Driving automation engaged — confirmed
Whether the driving-automation feature was engaged is a separate question from whether it caused the event.
System / software version
Not identified in the available sources.
Causal attribution
Automation system contributed
No other party was involved; the automated maneuver itself produced the contact with static infrastructure. This records that the automated maneuver contributed — it does not assert a specific mechanism (no perception/planning-failure claim) (Normalization Rulebook v1, case #15 policy). (downgraded: a field this classification relies on is itself disputed among contributing reports.)
What remains unknown
- Contributing reports disagree on subject vehicle precrash movement (Proceeding Straight / Making Right Turn) — left unresolved for curator review.
