Waymo and a Final Woof
December 19, 2025
We’re dog lovers. Canines are the best thing on this green and blue sphere. We were sickened when we read this article in The Register about the death of a bow-wow: “Waymo Chalks Up Another Four-Legged Casualty On San Francisco Streets.”
Waymo is a self-driving car company based in San Francisco. The company unfortunately confirmed that one of its self-driving cars ran over a small, unleashed dog. The vehicle had adults and children in it. The children were crying after hearing the dog’s suffering. The status of the dog is unknown. Waymo wants to locate the dog’s family to offer assistance and veterinary services.
Waymo cars are popular in San Francisco, but…
“Many locals report feeling uneasy about the fleet of white Jaguar I-Paces roaming the city’s roads, although the offering has proven popular with tourists, women seeking safer rides, and parents in need of a quick, convenient way to ferry their children to school. Waymo currently operates in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, and some self-driving rides are available through Uber in Austin and Atlanta.”
Waymo cars also ran over a famous stray cat named Kit Kat, known as the “Mayor of 16th Street.” May these animals rest in peace. Does the Waymo software experience regret? Yeah.
