TOYOTA Highlander Incident

A Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) in autonomous mode was traveling eastbound on [XXX] past [XXX] in San Francisco when it began to slow gradually for a nearly stopped passenger car (Vehicle 2) ahead in the same lane. The driver of Vehicle 2 then began reversing without using turn signals. The Zoox vehicle braked to a stop, and its operator disengaged autonomy, while vehicle 2 continued to reverse, steering left, seemingly attempting to pull into a parking spot in the curb lane adjacent to the stopped Zoox vehicle. During this maneuver, the right rear corner of Vehicle 2 swiped the left front corner of the Zoox vehicle. The Zoox vehicle sustained no damage, while Vehicle 2 incurred minor damage. No injuries were reported, and law enforcement was not notified.
