Waymo has suspended service of its ride-hailing service in downtown Los Angeles after its vehicles were set on fire during protests against immigration raids in the area.

Waymo doesn’t believe the protests are related to the company specifically, according to the company. It has removed vehicles from downtown Los Angeles with guidance from the Los Angeles Police Department and won’t be serving the area, the company said.
