Waymo pulls over, calls cops on juvenile riders who had 'ghost gun,' authorities say
Two young people riding in an autonomous vehicle were arrested in San Francisco after authorities allegedly found them in possession of an illegal "ghost gun."
San Francisco Police Department did not identify the operator of the autonomous vehicle, but a Waymo spokesperson confirmed to The Times that the incident involved one of its cars.
The company pulled the car over after detecting a "violation of our terms of service involving a firearm," the spokesperson said. The company alerted emergency services and "cooperated fully" with San Francisco police.
The incident took place shortly before 4 a.m. on Sept. 3 in the city's Richmond District, the Police Department said in a statement Thursday.
The department said officers conducted a "high-risk vehicle stop" and detained the two juvenile passengers — a boy and girl. The statement did not identify them further.
Officers searched the car and discovered a loaded, AR-style assault rifle, as well as "suspected marijuana and mace spray," authorities said in the statement.
