San Francisco is mourning KitKat, a well-known neighborhood cat who was killed when a Waymo robotaxi drove off as he passed beneath it. Witnesses say KitKat had been sitting in front of the autonomous vehicle before walking underneath, and in the split seconds that followed, the robotaxi accelerated and crushed him. This tragedy raises urgent questions about whether these vehicles can truly detect and protect living beings. Sign the petition now to demand accountability.
KitKat was rushed to an emergency vet but died from severe internal injuries. Multiple witnesses say the Waymo involved was moving fast and swerving earlier — far from the caution expected on a busy street. If the system couldn’t avoid hitting a small cat, what happens next time with another animal, or a child? Waymo’s statements and vague promises of donations are not enough. The company must recall its robotaxis until an independent investigation confirms they are safe. Sign the petition now.
