ADS crash report in San Francisco, CA involving a JAGUAR I-PACE (NHTSA SGO 30270-12070)

On October [XXX], 2025 at 11:40 PM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in San Francisco, California made contact with a cat on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was stopped next to the curb for a passenger pickup facing east on [XXX]. As the passengers were boarding the Waymo AV, a cat approached the Waymo AV from the southern sidewalk of [XXX] and sat in the roadway partially under the front right corner of the Waymo AV. A pedestrian approached the Waymo AV from the east on the southern sidewalk of [XXX] and began crouching near the front of the Waymo AV, stepping partially into the roadway, appearing to reach for the cat. As they did so, the cat moved farther from the sidewalk under the Waymo AV and the pedestrian stepped back onto the sidewalk. The Waymo AV then departed the pickup location and the rear right tire made contact with the cat. At the time of impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. Waymo later received notice that the cat did not survive. The passengers in the Waymo AV did not have seatbelts fastened at the time, having just boarded the Waymo AV. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request 2 of Standing General Order 2021-01. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
