Waymo appears to pause San Francisco service amidst power outage

A routine operational procedure at two San Francisco substations caused a massive power outage, affecting 9,400 PG&E customers. A separate system glitch mistakenly alerted 120,000 others of power loss. Consequently, Waymo appears to have paused its services in San Francisco. This is not the first time power outages have created issues for Waymo. The incident occurred Saturday morning, following what PG&E described as a routine operation that triggered the widespread electricity failure across the city.
