San Francisco Ca, a Waymo self-driving car caused a minor disruption to Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade on Friday night in San Francisco, prompting quick action from local police. The incident occurred as Harris, who is currently the Democratic presidential nominee, was staying overnight at the Fairmont Hotel ahead of a campaign fundraiser on Saturday.
According to a report from ABC7, the Waymo robotaxi failed to make a U-turn on California Street, halting the vice president’s motorcade in its tracks. San Francisco police officers on patrol swiftly stepped in, taking control of the autonomous vehicle and clearing the way for Harris’ motorcade to proceed.
Waymo LLC, the autonomous driving technology company involved, is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., formerly known as Google’s Self-Driving Car Project. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Waymo traces its roots back to the Stanford Racing Team, which competed in the 2005 and 2007 DARPA Grand Challenges, pioneering advancements in autonomous vehicle technology.
The situation was quickly resolved, and Harris continued her trip without further delay. While autonomous vehicles have shown great promise in urban transportation, this incident highlights the occasional challenges they face in complex traffic situations.
Stay tuned for more updates on how this cutting-edge technology continues to evolve, especially as it intersects with public safety and high-profile events.

What’s wrong is not with the story, it’s what’s wrong with Kamala Harris! After the devastating destruction in the southeast part of the country by the storm, and terrible loss of life, Kamala Harris should of been in DC a least acting like she’s in charge. Fund raising was more important!!!
