Incident Context & FAQ

What happened in ADS crash report in San Francisco, CA involving a ZEEKR RT (NHTSA SGO 30270-16038)?

On July [XXX], 2026 at 7:55 PM PDT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in San Francisco, California was in a collision involving an SUV on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was parked facing west on a narrow portion of [XXX], with vehicles parked perpendicular to the curb on either side of the roadway, and with its hazard lights activated after a passenger dropoff. While the Waymo AV was parked, a queue of traffic formed in the adjacent eastbound lane on [XXX], stopped facing east for a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. An SUV initially parked facing south, perpendicular to the south curb, reversed into the roadway at an angle and proceeded forward and to the left before stopping at the end of the queue of traffic, facing southeast, partially in both the eastbound and westbound lanes of [XXX]. The Waymo AV unparked and proceeded forward on westbound [XXX], then came to a stop to yield to the stopped SUV in the Waymo AV's lane of travel. The vehicles in the queue of traffic, including the stopped SUV, nudged forward momentarily, and the Waymo AV proceeded forward at a low rate of speed to maneuver between the stopped SUV and a passenger car parked facing south perpendicular to the north curb, on the Waymo AV's immediate right, and the right side of the Waymo AV made contact with the front of the parked passenger car. 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. 2 of Standing General Order 2021-01. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
