ADS crash report in Menlo Park, CA involving a JAGUAR I-PACE (NHTSA SGO 30270-15075)

On May [XXX], 2026 at 6:19 PM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Menlo Park, California was in a collision involving an SUV on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was stopped facing southeast in the third to the right lane on [XXX] in a queue of traffic for a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. While the Waymo AV was stopped, an SUV traveling southeastbound in the left lane on [XXX] approached the Waymo AV from behind and began maneuvering to the left to enter the adjacent designated left turn lane. The SUV slowed to a stop in close proximity to the Waymo AV, and the Waymo AV proceeded forward momentarily and came to a stop to yield to the queue of traffic. While the Waymo AV was stopped, the SUV proceeded forward to continue changing lanes to the left, and the front right side of the SUV made contact with the rear left side of the stationary Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. Both vehicles 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.
