⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Waymo vehicles all over SF are bricked due to a PG&E-induced power outage

Waymo suspended its SF operations during the PG&E outage for safety. Traffic lights failing creates unpredictable chaos at intersections, and their systems are programmed to stop or avoid proceeding if conditions are unsafe, like non-working signals or erratic traffic.

Rollout auto bots! …except for when there’s a PG&E outage.

That is such a dumb implementation, they should have been driving out of the way at least at very slow speeds so that they unblock the road.

How's civilization going, America.

Welcome to what Italians deal with every day.

At least they aren't causing an accidents. I'm sure human drivers navigating those intersections are the real danger.
