I was there walking through a little over an hour before and didn't see anyone drinking. Police had shown up and tried stopping some of the fireworks in the middle of the intersection.

I think it's important to consider why of all the cars passing through and parked on the street it was the Waymo car that got vandalized.

An obvious possibility is: no immediate risk and no mechanism for empathy. If you vandalize a person's car, that person might come at you, out of the crowd, possibly with a weapon. And, some people might even feel bad, knowing that they're ruining someone's day.

It could have been fueled by Waymo hatred, but it also had the least risk.
