On [XXX] at approximately [XXX] pm, I was driving in the right-most lane on [XXX]. Traffic in my lane was stopped due to a red light. An autonomous Waymo vehicle was originally stopped at a yield sign on an intersecting side road behind my position. Instead of waiting for a legal gap in the traffic lane, the Waymo vehicle illegally entered the designated bicycle lane to bypass the stopped vehicles. When the traffic light turned green and my lane began to move, the Waymo vehicle abruptly merged into my lane directly from the bike lane (my right-side blind spot). It forced its way in front of my vehicle, requiring me to brake and use my horn to avoid a collision. The autonomous vehicle performed an unpredictable, illegal passing maneuver in a non-vehicle lane (bike lane) and merged from a blind spot, causing a near-miss with a human-driven vehicle that had the right-of-way. I have front and rear dashcam footage capturing the entire incident. Because the raw video files exceed standard upload limits, I have uploaded the unedited footage here for investigators to review and download: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At approximately [XXX] PT on Saturday, [XXX], my daughter and I were riding as passengers inside the car when the car itself couldn't make the traffic light in time before it turned red and got caught in the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX]. It started backing up into the oncoming traffic going across on [XXX] with the car itself backing up on [XXX], and kept on going backwards to the point that it fully blocked one out of the 2 lanes on [XXX] going towards downtown. This blatantly broke traffic laws, with cars going around us so it wouldn't hit us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was a passenger in a Waymo autonomous vehicle in Orlando, Florida, on June 19, 2026, when a potentially dangerous traffic situation occurred. The vehicle was traveling on a roadway with a speed limit of approximately 45 mph when it suddenly decelerated and continued driving at approximately 10 mph. Other vehicles on the road were traveling at normal traffic speeds, creating a significant speed differential. I was concerned that a vehicle approaching from behind could have rear-ended the Waymo vehicle due to the unexpected and substantial reduction in speed. The vehicle remained at approximately 10 mph for a period of time while surrounding traffic was moving significantly faster. There were no warning messages, alarms, or explanations provided to me before the deceleration. There was no collision, injury, or property damage, but I believe the situation created an unreasonable safety risk. I contacted Waymo support during the incident. I was informed that the vehicle had entered a "restricted zone," but I was not provided with a clear explanation of what that meant or why it required the vehicle to travel at approximately 10 mph on a roadway where traffic was moving much faster. No emergency services responded. There was no collision. However, I am reporting this incident because I believe the vehicle's behavior created a potential traffic hazard and should be reviewed from a safety perspective.

For nearly one hour, this vehicle was blocking traffic and delaying first responders from critical incident calls. Vehicle was immobile and blocking in right lane of major thoroughfare.

SAFETY INCIDENTS 1. Highway Limp Mode Failure — May 2026 & June 2026 While driving on the highway in summer conditions with my infant in the vehicle, the car has entered limp mode twice without warning, reducing speed to a maximum of 2mph. This left us stranded in live traffic lanes, creating immediate and serious danger to my child's life. 2. Severe Range Loss in Winter Storm — December 2025 While driving in an ice storm with my infant in the vehicle, I briefly stopped to purchase windshield de-icer. Upon restarting the vehicle, the car lost approximately 50 miles of range instantaneously, leaving us unable to safely reach home in life-threatening winter conditions.

At 11:45 AM, a Waymo AV stopped in the middle northbound lane at the Kierland Commons/Scottsdale Quarter signaled pedestrian crosswalk. The stop signal was not on. Pedestrians were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the signal to turn so they could cross Scottsdale Road. I assume the Waymo AV saw the pedestrians standing on the sidewalk and decided to stop. I was directly behind the Waymo AV. Traffic was passing us in both lanes. The Waymo AV remained stopped until the pedestrian signal came on and did not move forward until after the signal turned off. Fortunately, vehicles behind me were paying attention and did not rear-end anybody. The main issue involves a Waymo AV coming to a stop when it sees pedestrians waiting to cross the street, rather than paying attention to the pedestrian signal light, which is a blinking red light over each lane when triggered by a pedestrian that turns solid red, allowing pedestrians to cross the street. I have provided this information to Waymo LLC and they have responded that they are looking into why this Waymo AV stopped when it should not have stopped.

A waymo put pedestrian and public safety at risk on 5/12/26 at approximately 7:50 pm when it stopped halfway through an intersection at 14th, Market, and Church Street in San Francisco alongside a crosswalk. I began honking from my vehicle as the waymo stopped in front of lanes of oncoming traffic, blocking the intersection. Instead of continuing through the intersection, the waymo turned towards oncoming traffic and advanced forward into the crosswalk and into oncoming traffic that was stopped at the red light. As one of the vehicles it was advancing towards I laid on my horn to try to get it to stop, but it didn't and the car next to me had to back up away from it to avoid collision. The waymo stopped about 1 foot away from the car before reversing into the intersection again (see pictures) and then turning onto 14th andriving away. The waymo essentially used a very busy intersection and active crosswalk to execute a 3 point turn. Without human driver intervention a collision was likely with a vehicle or pedestrian.

During a heavy rain vehicle stalled out. Looked like it hit a bag of leaves at the drivers front wheel. Stuck in standing water blocking a lane. I was pulled over waiting out the rain and cars trying to get past the stalled Waymo were almost colliding with me and others. If a car can not function in heavy rain why are these on the roads.

We told a driver with Waymo months ago when he was mapping the pickup route for the Waymos NOT to have them come in our very busy driveway. He did not do as we requested and from that point on they have been coming into our driveway which is private property. If you could please advise them not to enter our driveway that would be great. I have witnessed them beep their horns repeatedly when there's traffic in the driveway which disturbs our guests and they've also backed out of the entrance of our driveway on several occasions which is very dangerous. They used to pickup on the street which was working out just fine before they started coming into our private property and we would like them to go back to picking them up there please! Thank you!

It almost drove into a semi truck with trailer making a turn. It then stopped despite multiple cars behind it and obviously having a green light. It was also near an intersection and if things were busy this might have caused an accident. It was the smart and calm defensive driving of multiple people and the truck driver that prevented an accident. It shouldn’t have to require that and my city streets shouldn’t be used as an experiment using vehicles that could be deadly. NHTSA should not wait for a great tragedy and loss of life to take action on these vehicles with nobody inside them. I have the video of it stopping for no reason but only after the incident began.

I rode a Waymo for about 5 miles in Burlingame, CA today. On [XXX] near the intersection of [XXX] , at approximately [XXX] on [XXX], I witnessed a safety incident. The car was driving west on [XXX] . The road is one lane in each direction. The right-hand lane was closed for road work. As my car approached the lane closure, a road worker waved at my car to indicate it to stop. This was because only one lane was open to traffic and was being used for alternating two-way traffic. The car did not stop or even slow down much and shifted to the left (oncoming) lane and continued driving. Thankfully there were no cars coming in the opposite direction but this was a very unsafe maneuver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Waymo ran a red light at [XXX] on [XXX] in Santa Monica, CA. It was traveling probably 20-25 mph (less than the speed limit) and could have easily stopped after the light turned yellow at [XXX] . Instead it continued through the intersection while the light turned red. I was a pedestrian waiting to cross and was delayed by the Waymo. I could have been hit if I entered with the walk signal. Please see video here: [XXX] . I reported this to Waymo. They refused to acknowledge the mistake or explain what specific actions they were taking in response. While this situation was not exceptionally dangerous, that was partly because I took caution. A human driver may slightly misjudge this sort of situation, but I cannot understand why an autonomous vehicle would do it. It was not a challenging driving situation for a computer to solve if it is generally trying to operate within the rules. I am concerned that Waymo is cheating a bit on red lights on purpose to save time. I strongly support autonomous vehicles for safety, but they only help if companies take the rules seriously.

The contact called about failures with 2024 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. The contact stated that on four separate occasion had experienced failures with Waymo powered Jaguar vehicles. The contact stated that while exiting a one-way circle, a Waymo vehicle started driving towards her vehicle in the wrong direction. The Waymo vehicle eventually stopped right before crashing into the bumper of the contact's vehicle. The contact then stated that the Waymo reversed independently and parked in the corner of the circle. The contact stated that in another incident, a Waymo vehicle failed to stop at a 4-way intersection and drove through stop sign. In addition, the contact stated that while driving in her lane at a slow speed, a Waymo vehicle entered the contact's lane and cut the contact off. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at a moderate rate of speed, another Waymo vehicle stopped far beyond the stop sign line and was in the contact's lane. The contact was forced to drive around the Waymo vehicle to avoid crashing into the vehicle. The contact expressed grave concerns about these vehicles and believed that these vehicles were a danger to public safety.
