Episode Details

Waymo’s self-driving service hit pause in San Francisco’s Presidio, Richmond District, and parts of Golden Gate Park due to a power outage — a repeat of last December’s citywide blackout that left riders stranded. This time, though, everyone reached their destination safely before operations halted. PG&E’s restoration efforts kept shifting, with estimates moving from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM, but no one was left stuck in a vehicle. It’s a reminder of how fragile tech relies on aging infrastructure — and how much smoother things could be as the grid gets upgraded.
