Summary
Two juveniles were taken into custody after San Francisco police stopped a Waymo vehicle and found a loaded AR-style assault rifle inside, along with suspected marijuana and mace spray.
Waymo said it pulled the car over shortly before 4 a.m. on Sept. 3 after detecting a firearm-related terms-of-service violation, then called emergency services and cooperated with officers.
Police detained a boy and a girl during a high-risk stop in the Richmond District and took them to juvenile hall; the investigation remains open and active.
The incident surfaced as Waymo won approval to expand across 18 California counties, adding to scrutiny of how its driverless cars handle passenger misconduct.
