Emergency First Responders Say Waymos Are Getting Worse

# Waymo's Rapid Expansion Creating Real-World Problems Police and emergency responders are reporting that Waymo's self-driving cars are becoming harder to work with, not easier—and they blame the company for rolling out too many vehicles before the technology was actually reliable. According to one officer's testimony to federal regulators, hundreds of autonomous taxis were deployed at once despite not being ready for real-world use. This matters because when emergency vehicles need to respond to accidents or other incidents involving these cars, the unpredictable behavior wastes critical time that could save lives.
