* Platinum status, defined by disease progression during or following treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy within 6 months of completing therapy
* Measurable or non-measurable but evaluable disease per RECIST v1.1 {Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if progressive disease has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation.}
* Availability of a representative tumor specimen for exploratory biomarker research will be required for 12 patients (see Section 5.4.5 for information on tumor specimens)
* ECOG Performance Status of 0-1

  * AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 ⋅ upper limit of normal (ULN), with the following exceptions:

    * Patients with documented liver metastases: AST and ALT ≤ 5 ⋅ ULN
    * Patients with documented liver or bone metastases: ALP ≤ 5 ⋅ ULN
  * Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ⋅ ULN with the following exception:

  * For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR or aPTT ≤ 1.5 ⋅ ULN
  * For patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen
* Negative HIV test at screening, with the following exception: patients with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible if they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count \> 200, and have an undetectable viral load.
* Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening
* For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods as defined below:

  * Women must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab and for 24 months after the final dose of vismodegib. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period.
  * A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). The definition of childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines or requirements.
  * Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices.
  * The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability or unwillingness to swallow capsules
* Inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures
* History of leptomeningeal disease
* Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently)

* Uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia (ionized calcium \> 1.5 mmol/L, calcium \> 12 mg/dL or corrected serum calcium \> ULN)
* Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis (see Appendix 9) for a more comprehensive list of autoimmune diseases and immune deficiencies), with the following exceptions:

  * Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study.
  * Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study.
  * Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met:
* Rash must cover \< 10% of body surface area
* Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids
* No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high-potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months
* History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan (History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted).

* Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
* Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications

* Current treatment with anti-viral therapy for HBV
