Waymo's in-car cameras raise privacy questions after gun-flagging incident
A Waymo robotaxi was flagged and stopped by police in San Mateo County after staff monitoring interior cameras saw passengers appear to fire a handgun inside the vehicle; it turned out to be an Orbeez water-gun. Waymo confirmed its vehicles have automated systems that can detect firearms, and earlier this year used cabin cameras to verify riders' ages after intercom interventions.
