ADS crash report in Tempe, AZ involving a JAGUAR I-PACE (NHTSA SGO 30270-11713)

On September [XXX], 2025 at 1:21 AM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Tempe, Arizona was in a collision involving a motorcycle on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling north in the rightmost lane on [XXX] and began slowing with its right turn signal activated in preparation for a right turn into a parking lot at [XXX], yielding to a pedestrian crossing the driveway entrance to the parking lot on the right-hand sidewalk. While the Waymo AV was slowing with its right turn signal activated, a motorcycle in the rightmost lane approached the Waymo AV from behind and the front of the motorcycle made contact with the rear left corner of the Waymo AV. The impact with the Waymo AV resulted in the motorcyclist falling from the motorcycle and into the roadway to the left of the Waymo AV. Immediately afterwards, a passenger car in the second-from-the-rightmost lane passed the Waymo AV on the left and struck the motorcyclist in the roadway. The passenger car did not stop and left the scene. The motorcyclist was transported from the scene to a hospital, where they were declared deceased. At the time of impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode, and the Waymo AV was not carrying passengers. Following contact with the motorcycle, the Waymo AV came to a complete stop and remained stopped until the vehicle was towed away several hours later. The Waymo AV and the motorcycle sustained damage. The extent of the damage to the passenger car that left the scene is unknown at this time. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because of a fatality. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
