A self-driving Waymo vehicle crashed into multiple cars on a narrow L.A. area street recently, nearly hitting a family.
But don’t blame the new technology. This van had a human being behind the wheel, who bore the title “autonomous vehicle specialist.” Today that driver’s specialty is being questioned.
The incident occurred in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, near Dodger Stadium.

Local TV station KTLA reported that there were no riders inside at the time of the crash, which occurred Sunday morning. The company said the driver exited the vehicle on his own and that no injuries were reported.
A mother and son were in the vehicle’s path but were able to get out of the way.
