A Waymo robotaxi was seen last week driving the wrong way down a street in downtown San Francisco for nearly two blocks, an attempt to pass a throng of scooter riders and cyclists, the company has since said in a statement.

The driverless vehicle made the maneuver April 19 while driving on Mission Street near First Street crossing a double yellow line at about 9:30 p.m. to pass a group of about two dozen people riding electric scooters, one-wheels, and unicycles, according to a Waymo spokesperson.
