Waymo Accumulates 8,300+ Parking Tickets, Nearly $1M in Fines in San Francisco

Since the beginning of 2025, Waymo’s robotaxi fleet has collected more than 8,300 parking citations in San Francisco, generating almost $1 million in fines. The city’s robotaxis were cited 589 times in 2024, but the current rate averages over 100 tickets a week as the fleet expands across the city. The spike in citations reflects the rapid growth of Waymo’s autonomous operations and the challenges of managing a large fleet in dense urban environments. The data, tracked by local authorities, underscores the operational costs and regulatory hurdles that come with scaling autonomous vehicle deployments.
