The United States investigates Waymo self-driving taxis collectively "lying down" due to power outage.

The regulatory department in California said on the 22nd that during the massive power outage in San Francisco on the 20th, a large number of autonomous taxis operated by Alphabet Inc's subsidiary "Waymo" were causing congestion on the city's roads, prompting the regulatory department to launch an investigation. Many residents complained that their travel was affected and they were concerned that in the event of earthquakes, fires, and other emergencies, firetrucks and police cars would have difficulty passing through.
