A Waymo driverless vehicle reportedly got in the way of first responders as they rushed to the deadly Oak Cliff apartment explosion on May 28, 2026. According to WFAA, Dallas County Constables confirmed that body camera video showed an officer interacting with the autonomous vehicle while emergency crews were responding to the fatal apartment explosion.
