			During operation, Waymo vehicles take both interior and exterior videos. As of June 2025, Waymo has not disclosed whether or not it stores videos in the cloud, "how many cameras are inside its vehicles, exactly how long footage is retained, and whether the company has ever turned over footage to US federal law enforcement or a branch of the military." However, it is known that Waymo has given video evidence to law enforcement in the past, and that it currently uses user data and videos for improving their product.<ref>{{Cite news \|last=Haskins \|first=Caroline \|date=June 11, 2025 \|title=How Waymo Handles Footage From Events Like the LA Immigration Protests \|url=https://www.wired.com/story/waymo-data-privacy-protests-los-angeles/ \|url-status=live}}</ref>
