Anger in the community increased after it was revealed that on the same day KitKat was killed, Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana said she thought society is ready to accept deaths' caused by automated cars. But KitKat's owner pointed out that next time, the death could be that of a child, not just a beloved pet. As of April 2025, Waymo offered over 250,000 paid rides per week, totaling over one million miles monthly. From June 2024 to March 2025, there were 570 reported crashes involving cars with automated driving systems in the US alone.
