Your robotaxi might be a narc

In early September, a Waymo robotaxi detected a service violation involving a weapon and notified police. Two teenagers were arrested after a loaded "ghost" gun was found. The incident raised questions about privacy and surveillance in autonomous vehicles.

• Waymo stopped the car and called police itself, not reporting after the fact
• Passengers had a loaded AR-style "ghost" gun
• Company does not disclose how many police requests it receives and how often it complies
• In July, Waymo reported teenagers for drinking and a toy gun
