Waymo, Google's pioneering autonomous driving venture, has temporarily halted its downtown services following significant damage incurred during anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles. During the protest, demonstrators intentionally summoned Waymo autonomous vehicles to the protest site and methodically vandalized them, leading to the destruction of five vehicles with an estimated value of $600,000. These high-tech vehicles, predominantly Jaguar I-Paces equipped with advanced and expensive sensors, were set ablaze and severely damaged, as evidenced by images widely shared on social media. Additionally, clashes with police were reported at the protest site.
