A lethal shooting in San Francisco over the weekend may have been recorded by a nearby robotaxi—a possibility that suggests the ways in which America’s new autonomous vehicle cadres may soon become pivotal to law enforcement probes.
The shooting in question, which took place in the city’s Mission neighborhood, left one man dead and another critically injured. The San Francisco Standard cites calls to 9-1-1 dispatchers to reveal that a Waymo had been parked nearby and may have recorded the deadly incident. It’s unclear whether cops have since asked the company for data from that vehicle. Gizmodo reached out to Waymo and the San Francisco Police Department for more information.
The suspect in the shooting has been identified as 23-year-old Larry Hudgson Jr., police revealed on Sunday.
