In most car accident cases, liability for the collision rests with the driver whose negligent actions caused the crash. However, Waymos do not have drivers. So, who is responsible when a Waymo hits another vehicle or a pedestrian?
If a software error, sensor malfunction, or other problem with the Waymo or its automated driving systems caused the accident, Waymo may be liable. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, owns Waymo.
According to Axios, Waymo launched a fleet of self-driving cars in Philadelphia in the summer of 2025. Because the use of these vehicles is still in the testing phase in Philly, a human driver is present inside the car. Waymo may also be liable if the human drivers it employs fail to prevent collisions.
While in testing, Waymo vehicless will not transport passengers. They are operating at all hours in North Philadelphia, University City, Eastwick, and along I-76, I-95, and Penrose Avenue.
A third-party motorist may be responsible for a Waymo accident if their negligent driving led to a Waymo crash. For example, if another driver cut off a Waymo, causing the automated vehicle to swerve into your lane and hit your car, that driver may be responsible. Negligent driving behaviors include:
