Overview

• San Bruno officers pulled over a Waymo Jaguar I‑Pace on September 28 after witnessing an illegal U‑turn during a DUI enforcement detail.
• Police only realized after the stop that there was no human driver, and state law prevented issuing a moving‑violation ticket.
• The department described the outcome in a Facebook post, noting citation books lack a box for "robot," and it contacted Waymo through the car's system.
• Waymo said it is reviewing the incident and reiterated that its autonomous system is designed to follow traffic laws.
• AB 1777, already signed into law, will allow notices of noncompliance to be issued to autonomous vehicle companies starting in July 2026, as recent reports of other violations such as an illegal pass of a stopped school bus in Atlanta fuel accountability questions.
