A Waymo autonomous vehicle was attacked and set on fire by a crowd in San Francisco's Chinatown during Lunar New Year celebrations. The incident reflects growing public hostility toward "robotaxis" that frequently cause traffic disruptions. The destruction of the vehicle is described as a "tribal" reaction against the encroachment of autonomous technology in urban environments.
