Crowd sets Waymo self-driving car ablaze in San Francisco

In a shocking incident in San Francisco, a crowd vandalized a Waymo self-driving vehicle and set it on fire by throwing a firework inside the car. Waymo, which is owned by Alphabet, reported the incident, highlighting the increasing hostility towards self-driving cars. The severity of the attack may be attributed to the tragic pedestrian-dragging accident involving a self-driving vehicle operated by General Motors’ Cruise unit last year.
