Crowd sets autonomous vehicle ablaze in San Francisco's Chinatown

A rowdy crowd surrounded a Waymo vehicle in San Francisco's Chinatown Saturday evening and set it on fire, police said. The San Francisco Police Department said a crowd of about 10 to 15 people surrounded the fully autonomous vehicle between Stockton and Grant just before 9:30 p.m. The fully autonomous vehicle was completely destroyed. The mob graffitied the vehicle and smashed its windows before tossing a firework inside. The firework ignited, causing the vehicle to catch on fire.
