Global

News Summary

Waymo temporarily suspended its robotaxi service in San Francisco following a massive blackout that affected around 120,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers. The blackout, caused by a fire at a PG&E substation, left many Waymo vehicles stalled on city streets, contributing to traffic disruptions. While most power was restored by late Saturday, about 35,000 customers remained without electricity on Sunday morning. The company is coordinating with city officials to resume services once infrastructure stability is ensured.
