Los Angeles, CA — In a shocking turn of events during escalating riots in Los Angeles, multiple Waymo self-driving vehicles, each valued at upwards of $600,000, have been intentionally destroyed and set ablaze by violent mobs.

According to law enforcement sources, rioters are exploiting the autonomous ride-hailing system—using the Waymo app to summon vehicles to known protest hotspots.

Once the driverless cars arrive, they are ambushed, vandalized, and in several instances, set on fire.

Dramatic video footage shared on social media shows burning Waymo vehicles surrounded by cheering crowds, some hurling objects while others record the destruction.

Flames engulfed the sleek electric models within minutes, while police were unable to safely intervene.

As of now, the LAPD has issued an urgent request to Waymo: suspend app operations in affected areas immediately. “The technology is being manipulated and misused in an extremely dangerous way,” one senior officer told reporters.

Tensions have surged across parts of LA, with National Guard troops deployed to assist overwhelmed police units. The scenes are marked by fiery clashes, looting, and the targeted destruction of both public and private property.

Waymo has not yet issued a public statement, though company insiders suggest internal discussions are underway about pulling fleet access in protest zones.

This is the first known instance of coordinated sabotage of autonomous vehicles on this scale. Experts warn the incident raises serious questions about real-time controls and vulnerability in self-driving networks.

With protests showing no signs of slowing and security deteriorating, city officials are urging calm while reassessing emergency tech protocols.
