A Waymo taxi wouldn't stop inching toward an active fire hose in February.
  • Footage obtained by San Francisco news site Mission Local shows police trying to stop a Waymo driverless taxi. 
  • The vehicle was close to running over an active fire hose. 
  • Waymo said it works closely with public safety agencies and trains first responders to interact with its vehicles. 

The driverless taxis ferrying passengers throughout San Francisco are a technological marvel — and sometimes a nuisance.
