Waymo Hit in Chain Reaction Crash | Colorado Springs News
Description
An empty Waymo self-driving car became the unlucky victim of a three-car chain-reaction crash—caused entirely by human error. The incident, which occurred around 2:36 PM on Thursday near Eighth Avenue, saw a driver rear-end the car in front of them, which then slammed into the stationary Waymo. No one was seriously hurt, and the driver who triggered the collision received a citation for following too closely. Waymo confirmed its vehicle was legally stopped, yielding to a pedestrian who crossed safely. The case underscores that even with advanced autonomous tech, human mistakes can still lead to chaotic road situations.
