The video doesn’t show how the car got into this situation

Yes. Is this a failed left turn where the Waymo became trapped in the intersection? Did something keep the Waymo from exiting via a left turn? There's a brief glimpse of a large pickup truck stopped in the intersection. A few more seconds of video before or after would help a lot. Maybe Waymo will post video from their side.

Yes, there could be actual good reasons for this. Maybe a car illegally turned left in front of the waymo and the waymo did a sharp turn to avoid a collision.
