A Waymo vehicle was involved in an incident in San Francisco where it drove into live fireworks during Independence Day celebrations. Passengers in the vehicle were terrified as the car approached the lit fireworks in the middle of a street.

A video footage of the incident shows a group of passengers who were shocked as the driverless car seemingly approaches lit fireworks in the middle of a street as the explosives are about to launch. Someone on the street appears to warn the vehicle to stop by waving their hand.

According to the passengers, the autonomous vehicle then passes over the colorful flames and sparks. "No, no, no, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go," one of the passengers is heard saying off-camera. "Our Waymo just drove into a firework," a passenger says in the clip. "Are we on fire, dude?" a fellow passenger asks.

Company Response

A Waymo spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the company "is committed to keeping our riders safe and earning the trust of the communities where we operate." "We take situations like this seriously and are committed to evaluating and learning from these events," the statement continued.

No injuries were reported to either the passengers or the vehicle, and the company reached out to the riders after their trip. The possession of fireworks, even "Safe and Sane" explosives, is illegal in San Francisco, the city’s fire department said.

In a separate incident, some Waymo vehicles were towed when their batteries died after vehicles became stuck in traffic for hours. "Our priority is keeping San Francisco moving safely, especially during major city celebrations," the Waymo spokesperson said.
