Waymo to roll out safety updates after power outage disrupts San Francisco robotaxi fleet
Waymo plans system updates after a San Francisco power outage disrupted robotaxi operations, highlighting challenges autonomous vehicles face during large-scale infrastructure failures.
Waymo has announced plans to update its driverless vehicle systems after a widespread power outage in San Francisco caused several autonomous cars to stall and block traffic. The outage, linked to PG&E infrastructure failures, disabled traffic signals across large parts of the city, creating complex conditions for autonomous navigation. Videos circulating on social media showed Waymo vehicles stopped at intersections, contributing to gridlock during peak disruption.
