A quiet airport parking lot became the scene of an unfortunate robotaxi affair on June 30th, when two unoccupied Waymo started rubbing into each other. Videos circulating on social media show how clearly the robotaxis could see each other on a clear Phoenix day.

It begs the ancient philosophical quandary, when two robotaxis collide in an open stretch of a deserted airport parking lot in a bright sunny desert with nobody inside them, does it count?

Notably there are several other Waymo sitting around the crash, so it appears to have been a “base” parking error.
