TL;DR Summary

After a driverless robotaxi was torched in San Francisco's Chinatown, the police are under pressure to investigate the crime, while Waymo is cooperating with the investigation. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of autonomous vehicles and the potential negative publicity for Waymo. The police are collecting video evidence and may ask Waymo for footage from the vehicle, but the company's cooperation and the potential trial could put it in an awkward situation. Defense attorneys suggest that a trial could bring negative attention to driverless cars, while crisis management consultants believe it could be an opportunity for Waymo to defend its technology.
