Two Waymos were caught on camera behaving badly in SF Tuesday, with one attempting to maneuver around CHP patrol cars on I-280 and another cruising through the city with an SFMTA parking ticket stuck to its windshield.ABC7 shared a video on social media Tuesday showing a Waymo speeding past traffic on I-280 in San Francisco, coming dangerously close to a California Highway Patrol vehicle that was attempting to break up traffic.  The robotaxi then appears to attempt to pass the patrol cars, even activating its turn signal at one point. CHP had not commented on the incident, and no further details were available.Meanwhile, another Waymo was spotted around 9 am Tuesday driving along Steiner Street and Golden Gate Avenue with an SFMTA parking ticket visibly attached to its windshield, as KRON4 reports. It was not clear where the vehicle had been cited or how much the fine was. Parking violations have been increasing as the company expands its fleet. According to Reuters, Waymo announced last month it plans to quintuple its operations, with the goal of expanding its current fleet of 4,000 cars to 20,000 in just 14 months.According to data obtained by Gazetteer SF in September, Waymo received 4,178 parking citations in San Francisco in 2025, followed by another just 4,131 through July 19 of this year. That's more than 106 tickets per week, totaling $957,008 in fines between January 2025 and July 17, 2026. The company received just 589 parking tickets in 2024.The most common violation was taking up spaces intended for specific vehicles like tour buses, which accounted for 2,038 citations. Other frequent offenses reportedly included parking in prohibited spaces, obstructing traffic, double parking, and blocking bike lanes. One stretch near Pier 39, at 85 North Point Street, accounted for 577 tickets.Waymo spokesperson Chris Bonelli told Gazetteer that the company pays citations through an SFMTA fleet program and is working to improve its parking behavior.California has since given law enforcement additional authority to hold driverless vehicle companies accountable for traffic violations. As SFist reported earlier this year, new regulations that took effect July 1 allow officers to issue Notices of AV Noncompliance to manufacturers when their vehicles violate the California Vehicle Code or local traffic laws. That includes running red lights, failing to yield to pedestrians, and entering active emergency scenes.The notices also cover general moving violations, while officers can also flag an incident for priority review if they believe the vehicle's behavior presented a clear or potential danger to others. Manufacturers must report notices to the DMV within 72 hours, or within 24 hours when a priority review is requested.The new regulations also require autonomous vehicle companies to maintain a dedicated emergency-response line staffed so first responders can reach a remote operator within 30 seconds. During emergencies, local officials can issue geofencing directives requiring companies to clear their vehicles from designated areas within two minutes. The DMV can also impose restrictions on fleet size, service areas, speeds, and operating conditions.Related: Driverless Cars Will Start Getting Tickets In California Starting July 1 ...read more read less
