A Waymo robotaxi drove into the South Pearl Street Farmers Market in Denver on September 20, about 20 minutes before vendors were set to open, after barricades had been temporarily moved aside to let vendor vehicles through during setup. Market staff scrambled to stop the driverless car and clear its path, though no injuries occurred and organizers said it wasn't moving recklessly. Waymo says its system recognized the situation and steered itself back out, while the city plans to work with the company on protocols for future incidents.

A Denver resident filmed a newly built AI data center running its lawn sprinklers heavily enough to create standing puddles, even as Denver Water's Stage 1 drought restrictions limit residential and commercial lawn watering to twice a week through September, with a full ban starting October 1. The footage went viral and fueled anger, though it remains unclear whether the facility violated the rules, since the timing of the video, use of recycled non-potable water, or a special variance could all justify the watering.
