Waymo announced that its robotaxi service in San Francisco has resumed after a one‑hour pause caused by a power outage that affected roughly 7,000 PG&E customers. The company said it made temporary adjustments while monitoring local conditions and coordinating with officials. A spokesperson stated that riders depend on the service and that normal operations would return as soon as possible. The pause followed previous incidents in which Waymo vehicles stalled during blackouts in December and during a Fourth of July fireworks event on the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie called for stronger state regulations on autonomous vehicles during major incidents. Waymo confirmed that service has resumed.
