During a nighttime Waymo ride in San Francisco, an unhoused individual blocked the sensors of an autonomous vehicle, leaving passengers Robert Moreno and his husband feeling trapped and unsure how to proceed. Waymo's support team advised the riders to stay inside the vehicle for safety. The incident is an example of autonomous driving systems being halted when sensors are obstructed, preventing vehicle operation. The individual left after a few minutes without further escalation.
