The San Bruno Police Department said they were conducting a grant-funded DUI enforcement operation when officers spotted a Waymo robotaxi making an illegal U-turn in front of them at a light. Officers pulled over the vehicle, which had no human driver behind the wheel.
Police said since there was no human driver, a ticket could not be issued, saying their citation books "don't have a box for 'robot'." Waymo, a subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet, was contacted by officers.
"We are looking into this situation and are committed to improving road safety through our ongoing learnings and experience," the company added.
San Bruno is among several communities along the Peninsula where Waymo operates. The self-driving robotaxis are also in operation in San Francisco and in parts of Silicon Valley.
Waymo plans to launch service to both San Francisco International Airport and San Jose Mineta International Airport in the coming months.
