There are plenty of incidents where Waymo robotaxis reportedly blocked emergency vehicles, and the latest one comes from Atlanta, where a police patrol vehicle with blaring lights and sirens was stuck because the autonomous vehicle would not move out of the way. A video of the incident has gone viral on Instagram, which appears to have been recorded late at night. Despite robotaxis being involved in several such incidents where they blocked emergency vehicles, a resolution does not appear in sight. If the same violation were committed by a human, they would be penalized for the act. Whether the authorities will ever demand accountability from autonomous taxi operators for delays in responding to emergencies remains to be seen. Did the Robotaxi Assume it Pulled Over to Let the Police Pass? The footage on Instagram shows the police car pull up right behind the Waymo that halted in the middle of the road, waiting for it to give way. On the left was a row of parked cars, which meant the officer could overtake the Waymo from the right. However, that did not happen. Instead, the officer waited for the Waymo to move to the right, likely because the robotaxi showed its right indicator. However, the Waymo then drove forward a few meters with the indicator flashing continuously, but it did not pull over to the side, nor did it make the right turn. It could be possible that Waymo assumed it had pulled over, but in reality, it was blocking the police car. This put the police car in a tricky spot because there was nowhere to go. Despite the officer's persistent honking, the Waymo remained stationary. Some spectators, meanwhile, were amused by the incident, with some recording the event while others tried to talk to someone in the car.
