San Francisco cyclist Jenifer Hanki alleged that on February 16, 2025, a driverless Waymo stopped at a no-stopping curb beside a bike lane and a passenger opened a door into her path, while a second Waymo entered the lane. She reports brain, spinal and soft-tissue injuries and sued over Waymo's Safe Exit system.
What this means for youDriverless cars now share streets with cyclists and pedestrians, and the claims here are allegations in a lawsuit, not proven findings. If you ride a bike, watch for parked robotaxis and check for doors opening before passing.
