Incident 15431 Report
Waymo Robotaxi Reportedly Obstructed Ambulance Responding to Austin Mass Shooting

2026-03-01

During the response to a mass shooting on West Sixth Street in Austin, Texas, a Waymo robotaxi reportedly stopped across a street while traveling to pick up a passenger, briefly blocking an ambulance. Video reportedly showed the vehicle inching forward as police arrived; an officer contacted Waymo through its speaker system, after which the vehicle moved into a parking garage. Austin-Travis County EMS said the delay was resolved without significant effects on patient care or operations.
