Waymo's Robotaxis Under Investigation for Safety Violations

San Jose Mineta International Airport is the first airport in California to allow passengers to be dropped off via a Waymo self-driving taxi. ABC7 News reporter Lyanne Melendez, along with multimedia journalist Juan Carlos Guerrero and Digital Production Associate Gia Fanucchi, recently tested out a Waymo ride on the freeway to the airport.

The ongoing investigation into Waymo's autonomous vehicles highlights safety concerns, particularly regarding their reported failure to stop for school buses, raising questions about the safety of self-driving technology in urban environments.

This scrutiny comes as federal regulators examine the implications of integrating such vehicles into everyday transportation.
