San Bruno police stopped a Waymo autonomous vehicle that performed an illegal U-turn and found no driver or passenger inside. Officers contacted Waymo to report the malfunction and could not issue a citation because there was no human driver to ticket. The intersection contained signs prohibiting U-turns at that crossing.

The company was notified so the vehicle can be reprogrammed to avoid repeating the maneuver.
