Waymo's San Francisco Pause: A Glimpse into the Uncertain Future of Robotaxis Waymo's robotaxi service in San Francisco was temporarily paused for approximately one hour on Monday due to a power outage that affected around 7,000 PG&E customers in the city.
This incident is part of a larger pattern of power outages affecting Waymo's operations in San Francisco.
In December, a number of Waymo vehicles stalled on city streets during a blackout, while a similar incident paralyzed traffic during a Golden Gate Bridge fireworks show on the Fourth of July.
