Waymo seen driving down wrong side of street in Austin, Texas

An autonomous vehicle from Waymo was spotted driving against traffic going the wrong way in Austin, in a video uploaded to Reddit.

In the video from Monday, the Waymo vehicle can be seen approaching the vehicle of the person taking the video, driving on the wrong side of the road, before the autonomous vehicle ducks into the parking lot of a Valero gas station.

Specifically, the Waymo vehicle drove the wrong way on a frontage road for U.S. Interstate 35, according to San Antonio-based news site MySA.com.

In a statement, Waymo, a subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet, said that “safety is our highest priority at Waymo, both for people who choose to ride with us and with whom we share the streets. We take situations like this seriously and are committed to improving road safety through our ongoing learnings and experience,” according to MySA.com.

Through September, Waymo vehicles have driven a distance of 6,337,000 miles across Austin without the involvement of human drivers, according to the latest Waymo safety report. The report also said that Waymo vehicles experienced 81% fewer crashes resulting in injury, and 94% fewer crashes resulting in the deployment of airbags compared to human drivers, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The Austin Independent School District previously asked Waymo to stop operating its vehicles within district boundaries at times when kids could be getting onto or off of buses after incidents where Waymo vehicles kept driving around stopped buses.

Waymo did not stop operating, though it did work with district buses to try and improve the Waymo system’s performance when it came to dealing with school buses and the traffic laws surrounding them.
