Waymo robotaxi halts teen gel-bead drive-by, police involved
Two California teens allegedly drank alcohol and fired a gel-bead shooter from a Waymo robotaxi; the car stopped, alerted 911, and police detained them. Waymo’s rider rules ban alcohol for minors, require an accompanying adult for riders under 18, and forbid throwing objects or weapons. The incident illustrates how the robotaxi can enforce rider guidelines through its cameras and systems, with no DUI charge reported.
