This is my town, wow - cant believe someone filmed this whole interaction while there was a shooting a couple of blocks from there... If the ambulance was in a hurry they could have rammed the Waymo, I am sure Google wouldn't have sued for damages. AFAIK when a Waymo detects emergency vehicle lights and sirens, it is designed to pull over and stop, unlock its doors, and roll down its windows. Also: First responders can put the vehicle into a manual mode to move it if needed.

>If the ambulance was in a hurry i believe they were. >they could have rammed the Waymo Not an expert but i think the goal is to get the ambulance and its occupants to a specific location and then make an egress to a nearby medical facility? Also I'm not confident ambulances are designed to execute the pit maneuver. >I am sure Google wouldn't have sued for damages. Oh well if that's the case i guess it's all alright. >First responders can put the vehicle into a manual mode to move it if needed. I really feel like you're missing the point of why you're supposed to pull over and yield right-of-way for emergency vehicles.

  Can't pit a stationary vehicle.
