Waymo Halts Service in Downtown Los Angeles After Its Taxis Are Set on Fire
Waymo, the robot taxi company, cut off service to the downtown Los Angeles area after protesters set multiple self-driving vehicles on fire on Sunday, sending smoke into the air.
The protests in other parts of the city against President Trump’s crackdown on immigration have been largely peaceful, but law enforcement officers have reported that demonstrations have become “worse and more violent” since they began on Friday.
A Waymo spokeswoman said that the company had cut off service to the downtown Los Angeles area and had removed the burned vehicles from the streets. After protesters smashed windows and spray-painted anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement messages onto the taxis and set them alight, some protesters threw electric Lime scooters into the flames, the Los Angeles Times reported.
