**Waymo Robotaxis Resume San Francisco Service After Blackout Stalls**
Waymo has successfully resumed its autonomous ride-hailing services in San Francisco, days after a significant city-wide power outage caused numerous robotaxis to stall and cease operation.
The incident, which occurred earlier this week, left several Waymo vehicles immobilized on city streets, prompting public concern and highlighting the challenges autonomous systems face during widespread infrastructure failures. Waymo confirmed at the time that its vehicles were impacted by the power disruption and had entered a safe operational state, leading to their inability to proceed.
Following thorough system diagnostics and a confirmation of stable operating conditions, the Alphabet-owned company announced the restart of its driverless rides. The resumption aims to restore normal service for passengers in San Francisco, as Waymo continues to refine its technology and address unexpected real-world scenarios.
