Self-driving car service Waymo has resumed service in San Francisco after suspending operations due to a city-wide power outage that caused major traffic jams involving the robotaxis.
Waymo said Monday that it had resumed service, a day after it halted operations due to the autonomous cars snarling traffic during a nasty Saturday blackout that left traffic lights down across the city. The far-reaching outage was caused by a fire at a PG&E substation that knocked out power to roughly one-third of the city. Over 130,000 residents were impacted and businesses had to close temporarily.
