AZ Family (video); Waymo passenger flees after car drives on Phoenix light rail tracks
"Published: Jan. 8, 2026 at 2:41 PM PST
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A Waymo was caught on camera driving down Phoenix light rail tracks this week, forcing a passenger to flee the car before it continued along the tracks near an oncoming train.
Video taken by a bystander near Central and Southern avenues shows the moment the self-driving car stops on the tracks just before an oncoming light rail approaches. The passenger runs out of the vehicle before the car continues to drive down the tracks near another train."

The Austin ISD has been in communication with Waymo regarding the violations, which it reports have occurred approximately 1.5 times per week during this school year. Waymo has informed them that software updates have been issued to address the issue.
However, in a letter dated November 20, 2025, the group states that there have been multiple violations since the supposed fix ｣
current status of dinner - #waymo drove off with 3 bags of ingredients in the trunk before I could hit the open trunk button. Turns out they can’t drive car back, they can at best return car to depot so now driving across San Francisco to retrieve groceries. #autonomousvehicles. Can see the headlines tomorrow „after blocking intersections, Waymo now stealing groceries from customers“
