Waymo said its autonomous test vehicle that hit a pedestrian in San Francisco on Wednesday evening was being operated by the human driver.
The Jaguar I-Pace sport-utility vehicle outfitted with Waymo technology was involved in a collision on Haight Street, the unit of Google parent Alphabet Inc. said by email.
The vehicle was "being driven in manual mode" when it struck a pedestrian, who was treated for injuries at the scene and transported to a hospital by ambulance, the company said. The driver was operating the car for the entire trip, Waymo said.
