Several Waymo robotaxis and Lime e-scooters were set ablaze this weekend as unrest in downtown Los Angeles continued.

Waymo taxis were set on fire during L.A. protests. It's unclear whether they were called or if protesters simply took advantage of their presence

The incident came amid escalating tensions in L.A. as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard, blocking off the 101 Freeway as LAPD officers used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to control the crowd.

Waymo’s self-driving fortunes were set back when protesters set fire to some of them during the L.A. ICE protests.

California has been coping with civil unrest, as swarms of protesters have taken to the streets following a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting workplaces in Los Angeles County.

The protests sparked in Los Angeles on Friday when ICE arrested over 40 illegal immigrants in the area. Now, they're spreading across the country.

HOW WE GOT HERE: The protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Friday carried out raids in three locations across L.A., where dozens of people were taken into custody. Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”
