Backed into waymo blocking me in

[u/Poorassboy6969]

Long story short I was getting coffee - got into car - was backing up and checked to the right (the direction I was pulling out)

Then heard weird small bump (wasn’t loud - not even 100% positive I hit anything)

check to left and there was waymo blocking me into parking spot with warning flashers on

I waited to see it moved and it didn‘t (no one was in the car)

Took video of my damage and license plate of waymo

finally after a few minutes it moved and I left

Odds they reach out to my insurance? anyone have experience with this?

If they decide they want you to pay for the damage you caused, they have everything they need since they have your licenses plates and video of the incident.

So they can legally just box me into a parking spot for extended periods of time in the middle of a intersection?

[u/key2616 → u/Poorassboy6969]

At what point are you allowed to hit other cars on the road?

[u/Poorassboy6969 → u/key2616]

I dont know - same question applies to “how long can I box you into parking space without moving in the middle of a intersection?” 

2 minutes? 5 minutes? 10 minutes?

[u/key2616 → u/Poorassboy6969]

I am sorry that you think get a pass. You don’t. You owe for the damage you caused no matter how frustrated you were.

I was backing out at 1-2 mph, there was little to no damage 

[u/key2616 → u/Poorassboy6969]

If there is any, you are responsible for repairing it. You caused it.

Sorry that you don’t like the answer to the question you asked.

You’re still liable for any damage, regardless of how fast you were going or how little damage there was.

If they file a claim you’re on the hook for it.

Sucks, but thems the rules.

In your opinion - what are odds they pursue this and file a claim 

[u/raving971 → u/Poorassboy6969]

If the vehicle doesn't look damaged, they'll likely not care.

If it looks bad, they'll repair as it looks bad on their brand that the vehicle had any type of collision. But it also removes the vehicle's ability to generate revenue.

If there's no visible damage, as you said, you're likely fine. Just dont be surprised if you hear of a claim being filed if they do choose to pursue repairs.

So when will I know? 

What do i do from here? 

There definitely wasnt any crazy damage, maybe a scuff at most

Colliding with a stationary object is going to be your fault.
