LOS ANGELES — This trip was Waymo dangerous than it needed to be.

The robotaxi operated by Waymo was driven just a few feet away from a Los Angeles police felony stop downtown following a vehicle chase early Sunday — a brief brush with danger that was caught on video by incredulous onlookers and ended with nobody hurt, according to video and police.

The driverless vehicle could be seen in the video making a left turn and passing a white truck pulled over at the corner by several police cruisers with their lights flashing.

The suspected driver was face down on the street at the time, the video showed.

Immediately, police officers could be heard yelling at the vehicle to get away.
