In March, a startling moment was captured on video when a Waymo self-driving vehicle briefly blocked Austin ambulance crews rushing to the scene of a deadly mass shooting. The incident occurred around 2:00am just outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden, where a gunman fatally shot 3 people and wounded 13 more.
In the footage, the Waymo car comes to a sideways stop in the road as an ambulance heads up the street with flashing lights. An Austin police officer, who arrived shortly thereafter, had to drive the Waymo vehicle into a nearby garage. The Waymo car had apparently been hailed by a rider for pickup when it identified a “road blockage and began executing a U-turn.” As the ambulance appeared mid-turn, the car then “briefly yielded,” until it was assisted by the officer.
