ADS crash report in San Francisco, CA involving a ZOOX Zoox (NHTSA SGO 30610-13660)

An unoccupied Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) was stationary in the right lane on northeast-bound [XXX] at [XXX] in San Francisco, stopped behind traffic at a red light. After the light turned green, the Zoox vehicle initially remained stopped to yield to an active police vehicle making a right turn onto [XXX] from the adjacent lane. During the subsequent green light cycle, as the Zoox vehicle began to proceed straight along [XXX], two passenger cars, including Vehicle 2, cut across its path from behind, attempting an illegal right turn onto [XXX] from a through lane. The Zoox vehicle braked hard, but contact was unavoidable, and Vehicle 2 clipped the Zoox vehicle's left front fender. The front-seat passenger of Vehicle 2 exited to inspect the Zoox vehicle before returning to their car and leaving the scene without exchanging information. The Zoox vehicle then cleared the scene and returned to base. Upon inspection, the Zoox vehicle was found to have sustained minor damage. Police were notified, and no injuries were reported.
