A Waymo self-driving vehicle was intentionally set on fire early Friday morning in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to company officials and local news reports.

The incident occurred shortly after 1 a.m. along South Inglewood Boulevard. The vehicle, which was unoccupied at the time, caught fire in the back seat, officials said.

Video obtained by ABC7 showed visible damage to the rear interior of the car. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to extinguish the flames before they reached the vehicle’s battery. Crews reportedly had to remove part of the back seat to fully put out the fire.
