As expected, Waymo deflects responsibility for the crash, as if no human driver has ever encountered a car being towed.

The company says one of its vehicles encountered a tow truck improperly pulling a pickup, which was facing rearward and askew across a center turn lane and regular traffic lane.

Sounds like we should be using Waymo way less.

I'm still waiting for more people to burn them.
