Angry residents point guns, slash tires and throw rocks at Waymo's autonomous vans

Not everyone is excited to see self-driving cars on the road. Police in Arizona have recorded 21 incidents in the past two years concerning vigilante citizens who have hurled rocks, pointed guns at and slashed the tires of Waymo's autonomous vans. In other cases, people stood in front of the vehicles to prevent them from driving, yelled at them, chased them or forced them off of the road, according to The Arizona Republic.

Even when, on August 1st, a test driver in a self-driving vehicle encountered a man aiming a handgun at him, Waymo waited several days to call the police.
