(Chandler, AZ) — It appears not everyone is a fan of a self-driving car service and the potential they have to radically change how Americans commute. Some residents in Chandler, Arizona have been attacking Waymo’s vehicles. The New York Times reports that tires have been slashed, rocks were thrown and at least one person tried to run a car off the road. The Arizona Republic reported there have been at least 21 attacks against Waymo vehicles in nearly two years of testing. Waymo’s parent company is Alphabet, which is also the parent company of Google. One employee saw a shirtless man aiming a gun at a Waymo van. Although they are self-driving car, for now employees are riding in the cars as an added safety precaution.
