Airport Blvd at Tower Pl, South San Francisco, CA
Prob a 'no-fwy' trip, else the robot could've been on 101.
Waymo's redacted NHTSA crash report should be publicly avail ~mid-January or ~mid-February.

Looks like a safety driver got locked out. IDK why telops didn't unlock it as they do for PD. Mode confusion?
How many ADS/robot support gig workers does it take to replace gig drivers?

Lincoln Blvd turning onto Harrison, Los Angeles
Waymo robots often force their way thru multilane traffic.
Bad routing, worse driving. Previous intersection has a light and the next intersection has a turn lane.

IANAL or NHTSA recall expert, but I hope a mfg ignoring most of the evidence/incidents would not be condoned or rewarded by NHTSA.

A major issue is the CPUC reporting only covers 1 of 4 kinds of Waymo VMT. DMV annual mileage report covers Test VMT. Manual & tow/rescue are unreported.
