In January, a Waymo car was torn apart in Los Angeles. In February 2024, another Waymo car was smashed and set ablaze in San Francisco. And in July 2024, a man was charged with slashing the tires of 17 Waymo cars in San Francisco.

Waymo said it had temporarily halted service in downtown Los Angeles after several of its cars were torched during protests.

Waymo has suspended service of its ride-hailing service in downtown Los Angeles after its vehicles were set on fire during protests against immigration raids in the area.

Driverless taxi company Waymo suspended service in downtown Los Angeles after at least five of its vehicles were set on fire during protests in the area.

In one photo, at least five Waymo robotaxis can be seen engulfed in flames, with anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement graffiti scrawled on the doors.

The self-driving taxi company also said its vehicles were in the wrong place at the wrong time in Los Angeles after protesters set fire to several of the cars there.

Autonomous vehicle firm Waymo said it has curtailed its robotaxi service in San Francisco following immigration enforcement protests in the city's Financial District Sunday evening, which led to one of its vehicles being vandalized.

The incident came amid escalating tensions in L.A. as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard, blocking off the 101 Freeway as LAPD officers used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to control the crowd.
