Waymo robotaxis stalled and caught fire on July 4
Waymo robotaxis had a chaotic Fourth of July in San Francisco: dozens stalled in post-fireworks gridlock after running out of battery, requiring tow trucks, and at least one vehicle drove over a lit firework and caught fire. A passenger filmed the incident. Waymo attributed the disruptions to severe congestion, a surge of travelers, and unplanned road closures. No injuries were reported. Critics are calling on NHTSA and city regulators to set hard performance benchmarks before fleets expand further, while Waymo maintains its per-mile safety record still outperforms human drivers.

Blacklisted Chinese lidar maker Hesai powers US self-driving
Hesai, a Shanghai-based lidar manufacturer holding roughly a third of the global automotive lidar market, appears on the US Pentagon's blacklist of Chinese military companies — yet its sensors power Amazon's Zoox robotaxis, trucking firms Waabi and Kodiak, delivery company Nuro, JFK airport gates, and Nvidia's self-driving platform. The Pentagon designation blocks government contracts but does not prevent commercial use. Security researchers have demonstrated that Hesai sensors can be compromised via malware to create phantom obstacles or hide real ones, and a 2024 firmware bug froze all Hesai sensors simultaneously due to a leap-year coding error. Hesai's CEO disputes security concerns, saying sensors store no data and cannot transmit information externally. US lawmakers are pushing to phase out Chinese lidar, drawing comparisons to earlier actions against Huawei, DJI, and TP-Link. Europe faces a similar dilemma as its automakers rely on cheaper Chinese sensors dominating the autonomous-driving market.
