Waymo self-driving car rescued from flooded crossing SAN ANTONIO - A Waymo self-driving vehicle was rescued from a crossing area on Saturday after getting stuck in high water. The vehicle became stranded near McCollough Avenue and Contour Drive on Saturday afternoon. No passengers were inside at the time, and it was later towed from the flooded area. RELATED: Do you feel safe with autonomous robotaxis driving in school zones? The incident comes amid growing scrutiny of Waymo vehicles in San Antonio following a series of recent concerns about the technology’s performance. Earlier this week, a Waymo vehicle was spotted driving the wrong way during a designated one-way drop-off period in a school zone near Cambridge Elementary School. The incident raised concerns among parents and residents about the system’s ability to safely navigate traffic patterns. Police attempted to help reconfigure the vehicle’s navigation, but the effort reportedly caused additional confusion and traffic disruptions. The concerns come as Waymo continues to expand its footprint in San Antonio. The company recently launched autonomous rides to and from San Antonio International Airport, allowing passengers to be dropped off at terminal curbs and picked up at designated rideshare locations. Waymo says its service now covers more than 60 square miles across the city, including downtown, the River Walk, the Alamo, and other major destinations. Company leaders say the expansion reflects growing demand for autonomous transportation and point to safety data from more than 170 million rider-only miles, which they say shows fewer serious crashes compared to human drivers. Still, recent incidents continue to fuel debate about how reliable the technology is in real-world conditions.
