Waymo says robotaxi service has resumed after it made \u201ctemporary adjustments\u201d in San Francisco amidst a power outage that app<\/a>ears to have affected around 7,000 PG&E customers<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n

According to a screenshot posted on social media<\/a>, Waymo told SF customers that service was \u201ctemporarily paused\u201d and that \u201cfreeway routes are unavailable.\u201d<\/p>\n

When TechCrunch reached out to the Alphabet-owned company for comment, a spokesperson said in a statement, \u201cWe are making temporary adjustments to our service while we monitor local conditions. We know riders depend on us, and we will return to normal operations as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the initial publication of this article, a Waymo spokesperson added that the company \u201cdecided to pause service for approx. one hour to assess the scale of the power outage affecting a large portion of San Francisco and coordinate with local officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power outages have affected Waymo service in the past, for example when a number of Waymo vehicles stalled on city streets during a blackout in December, and when a similar incident paralyzed traffic during a Golden Gate Bridge fireworks show on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n

As a result, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has called for tougher state regulations to \u201cadequately address how autonomous vehicles operate during major incidents, planned or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

This post has been updated with additional comment from Waymo reflecting that service has resumed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
