A TikTok user posted a video and said, "Waymo will be offering free rides all immigrants attending the riots protests in LA."

Now electric, driverless vehicles have been summoned to protest scenes via the Waymo app. The resulting EV fires burn hotter than traditional car fires and are potentially more hazardous. The autonomous robot taxis owned by Google parent company Alphabet were tagged with protest slogans and profanity—and set on fire—as a way to disrupt traffic over the weekend and demonstrate against the widespread roundup of migrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

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.
