The attacks on Waymo vans have involved escalating crimes from slashed tires to a man pointing a gun at the vehicle. Reports also include drivers attempting to run the vehicles off the roads. A Waymo spokesperson told Gizmodo "safety is at the core of everything we do". In response to reports of incidents involving its vehicles, Waymo characterized the events as “extremely rare”.
