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. Waymo said the vehicle was attempting a three-point turn to leave the area and stated that, while the officer engaged with the vehicle and remote assistance team, the street remained clear and other vehicles passed by unimpeded. The May 28 explosion at the Oak Cliff apartment complex killed three people and injured others, prompting a major emergency response. Reports stated that a gas leak had been reported before the blast and that firefighters responded to the scene of the deadly fire and explosion. The Waymo incident raises broader questions about how autonomous vehicles should respond during emergencies, how quickly remote support can act, whether first responders have adequate tools and training to move driverless vehicles, and what protocols should exist when technology interferes with emergency access.
