Waymo robotaxi hits child in Santa Monica

A Waymo self-driving car struck a child near a Santa Monica school during morning drop-off, raising big questions about how ready robotaxis are for real-world chaos. The child, who darted out from behind a double-parked SUV, suffered only minor injuries, but the incident has federal safety officials investigating how these vehicles handle unpredictable school zones. Waymo claims its system braked faster than a human could, but does that make it safe enough? With more autonomous cars hitting the streets, are we comfortable trusting them around our kids? Let’s hear your thoughts on robotaxis in our neighborhoods. #Tech #Waymo #SantaMonica
