According to the company, no one was inside as the flood water rose almost to the top of the car’s wheel wells.
Luckily, it didn’t take long for the water to recede. Once the water was gone, the Waymo was loaded onto a flatbed and taken away.
In a statement, Waymo said:
“Safety is Waymo’s top priority, both for our riders and everyone we share the road with. During a period of intense rain today in Atlanta, an unoccupied Waymo vehicle encountered a flooded road and stopped. The vehicle has been recovered and removed from the scene.”
