A viral video posted to Threads is raising new questions about self-driving vehicles in Central Florida after it appeared to show a Waymo van moving into an Orlando intersection while the traffic light was red.
The video, posted Sunday by user @melisaunfiltered, had more than 670,000 views, 10,000 likes and hundreds of comments on Monday evening. It shows a Waymo self-driving van inching through the intersection of Kirkman Road and Carrier Drive at a red light. The vehicle then continues through the intersection, despite cross traffic — and then it changes lanes mid-intersection as the light turns green.
