Waymo reports a firearm inside one of its autonomous vehicles in San Francisco, and the company calls police. Authorities say two juvenile riders are arrested after police find what is described as an illegal “ghost gun” during the incident.
Los Angeles Times and New York Post both describe the situation as involving minors on a Waymo robotaxi. Each account states that Waymo detects the firearm while the vehicle is in operation and contacts law enforcement rather than continuing the trip. The New York Post specifies the gun as a loaded AR-style “ghost gun,” while the Los Angeles Times describes it more generally as a “ghost gun.” Both outlets characterize the cases as involving juvenile suspects and focus on Waymo’s role in alerting authorities after the firearm is discovered.
Details about the weapon’s specific features, how the detection occurs, and the charges or investigation status beyond the arrests are not fully aligned across the two reports based on the information provided.
