Just like human cars

Google's self-driving car firm Waymo is facing a backlash in its bid to launch 24/7 robotaxi service in other parts of California after a series of blunders that have sparked safety fears about the vehicles invading their towns.

In just over a week, a Waymo car smashed into a closing gate as it left the University of Southern California's campus; the next day, another hit a cyclist in San Francisco.

Later that week, a mob of people trashed and torched one of its cars. Days later, the company announced a voluntary recall of its software for an incident involving a pickup truck in Phoenix.

Although it happened three months ago, the Post reports that after the first contact between the vehicles, a second Waymo car bumped into the pickup truck a few minutes later.
