But wait, there's more:
A viral video shows several people cornering a stopped Waymo robotaxi on the street and tagging it with graffiti, while a front seat passenger clutches a small beige poodle — a scene that's both comical and dystopian in its strangeness.
And it's one of three incidents that occurred in the early evening hours of September 21, according to the San Francisco Police Department, all occurring in the Mission District of the city.
'[A]n online police report was filed on behalf of an autonomous vehicle operator,' wrote a police spokesperson in an email message to Futurism. 'The reporter stated that there were three separate incidents of vandalism on three different autonomous vehicles.'
Luckily, Waymo is really good at customer support and helping passengers get ahold of the police, which is very important in the great state of California.
Welp, I guess I'll never be going back to San Francisco then ...
