ADS crash report in Houston, TX involving a JAGUAR I-PACE (NHTSA SGO 30270-14457)

On March [XXX], 2026 at 5:36 PM CT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Houston, Texas was in a collision involving a heavy truck on [XXX] near the Interstate [XXX] interchange exit.

The Waymo AV was traveling northeastbound in the second from the right lane on [XXX] when the Waymo AV began to slow, activated its left turn signal, and initiated a lane change to the adjacent left lane in front of a heavy truck traveling at a low rate of speed. The Waymo AV began to cross the solid white lane line and the heavy truck proceeded forward, and the front right side of the heavy truck made contact with the rear left side of the Waymo AV. The test driver of the Waymo AV then transitioned to manual mode immediately after contact occurred. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode, and a test driver was present (in the driver's seating position). The Waymo AV sustained damage.

Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vehicle involved was towed away. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
