To seriously answer your question-

This was during Chinese New Year celebrations. There's a big parade and fireworks. The waymo (the self-driving test car pictured) somehow made it's way to this area, AFAIK pretty close to the center of things. Not really a good place to be, most drivers would avoid the area just due to the huge crowds of people and fireworks.

Anyways around 9pm either it was stopped by an obstacle or stopped itself for some reason, and people attacked it, I'll throw out three reasons I've seen around; it's probably a combination of them.

1- It was interrupting the festival.

2- It's an easy target. No passenger (these were only in testing phase AFAIK) and super slow, basically stuck in a mob where people think they are anonymous.

3- There's an anti-tech, and anti-car, and specifically anti-*self-driving car* movement in SF. These things are lightning rods. I see people mess with them all the time.

To expand on #3: A lot of residents of SF feel that they've become the unwilling, free test bed for companies like Waymo (google), Cruise, Zoox where these cars roam around creating all sorts of problems. They've hit people, stopped emergency services, etc. Many people in SF also just don't like these big tech companies, and these are extensions of them.

Not that any of these are particularly good reasons to set the thing on fire, just to explain why this might happen. Some people have an intense hatred of these things. About two months ago I was stuck in traffic in my car, trying to figure out why the Waymo ahead of me was stopped. Turns out it was a guy on rollerblades stopped in a crosswalk just sitting in front of the car, flipping it off.
