Overview
- Surveillance and cellphone video show the vehicle leaving a narrow residential roadway near Dodger Stadium on Sunday around 11 a.m., striking a street sign and then colliding with multiple parked cars on Lilac Place.
- Waymo confirms the car was in manual driving mode with an autonomous‑vehicle specialist behind the wheel, there were no riders on board, and no injuries were reported.
- The driver exited the vehicle on his own and has been restricted from driving other vehicles while the company investigates the cause of the loss of control.
- Neighbors described a close call for pedestrians, including a resident who said he pushed his mother out of harm’s way as the vehicle veered downhill.
- Reports differ on the model involved, with some outlets identifying Waymo’s new van‑like Ojai and others citing a Zeekr, reflecting uncertainty as the probe continues.
