Waymo vehicles set on fire in downtown L.A, as protesters, police clash
As Los Angeles police struggled with another day of unrest in downtown L.A., several Waymo autonomous taxis were set on fire, sending black smoke billowing into the air. The dramatic images were captured during an afternoon of clashes between large groups who were protesting immigration raids by the Trump administration and L.A. police who were trying to maintain order. For some time, protesters blocked traffic on the 101 Freeway before California Highway Patrol officers slowly pushed them back. Police advised residents to avoid the the 101 Freeway through downtown L.A. Images of the Waymo cars on fire on Los Angeles Street were broadcast nationally as Los Angeles has become a flashpoint in the immigration debate. Tires were slashed, windows smashed, and anti-ICE messages spray-painted over the cars, which were parked in a row. Protesters swarmed around the vehicles, tearing the doors off and stomping on the windshields. One man with a mask over his face smashed car windows with a skateboard. Another appeared to use a makeshift flamethrower to set the interior of a car ablaze. Around 5:30 p.m., some people were seen throwing Lime electric scooters into the burning cars, while others stood back. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the vehicle blazes while the Los Angeles Police Department warned people to stay away from the area. 'Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby,' said the LAPD in a statement. Waymo's fleet of electric, self-driving taxis has become a familiar sight on L.A. roads. A spokesperson for Waymo told The Times the company was in touch with law enforcement regarding the incident. After launching in San Francisco and Phoenix, Waymo began serving Los Angeles in November. It attracted an initial wait list of around 300,000 people before becoming available to anyone who downloaded the service's app, a company spokesperson said in January. As of January, Waymo had already driven 1.9 million miles in Los Angeles.

Man killed, dog severely injured in S.F. rollover crash
A driver was killed in a car crash Saturday morning after he lost control of his vehicle while exiting Highway 101 in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, and his dog was severely injured. The crash was reported just before noon at Mansell Street and San Bruno Avenue, according to San Francisco Fire Department Lt. Mariano Elias. First responders found the driver, a man in his 30s, dead at the scene and an injured dog in the rolled-over vehicle, a white Dodge Challenger. Investigators believe the driver was southbound on Highway 101 when he tried to exit via Paul Avenue and lost control, Elias said. The California Highway Patrol temporarily closed the exit, which has since reopened. San Francisco Animal Care and Control transported the dog for medical care, but its status was not immediately available Saturday afternoon.
