Group vandalizes Waymo robotaxi in Los Angeles' Beverly Grove neighborhood, police say

A crowd of people damaged a self-driving Waymo vehicle in Los Angeles’ Beverly Grove neighborhood early Saturday, police said.

Police received a call reporting a group vandalizing the robotaxi near La Cienega Boulevard and West 3rd Street around 4 a.m., said J. Chavez, public information officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. Officers took a vandalism report, he said.

The unoccupied vehicle had reportedly stopped at a red light when it was surrounded. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.

Waymo spokeswoman Julia Ilina said the company was working closely with officials investigating the incident. “While these sorts of events are rare, we take them extremely seriously and remain committed to improving road safety and mobility in the cities where we operate,” she said in a statement.
