- Event Coordinator Marilyn Kahlich said the vehicle traveled slowly and avoided all obstacles. Organizers followed the car, shouting warnings to vendors, as they lacked a way to stop or redirect the autonomous vehicle.
- Fortunately, no one was hurt and no damage occurred. A Waymo spokesperson stated the company is dedicated to learning from this situation as they continue improving road safety.
