Waymo autonomous vehicle involved in Arizona crash was in manual mode at time of incident
Raw video shows a car jumping the median and colliding with a Waymo self-driving minivan. A Waymo-operated autonomous minivan involved in an accident in Chandler, Ariz., last week was being driven in manual mode when it was hit by an out of control vehicle. The Chrysler Pacifica equipped with Waymo's self-driving technology was struck by a Honda Civic heading in the opposite direction that had swerved to avoid a third car that had run a red light. Video from the Waymo shows the Honda crossing the median and heading straight for the van, which it hit in the driver's side fender. Police initially reported that the minivan was in autonomous mode at the time of the collision, but later confirmed that it was being driven manually by the Waymo employee on board.
