## Resource

Waymo’s self-driving cars faced some wild Fourth of July mishaps in San Francisco—rolling over fireworks, one even catching fire (luckily no injuries), while others got stuck in holiday traffic. The company’s roadside team stepped in to clear the vehicles, and they personally checked in with passengers to ensure everyone was okay. Waymo says they’re reviewing every incident to improve safety and build public trust, highlighting the real-world challenges autonomous tech still faces.
