00:00Power out in San Francisco. The Waymo's are crazy.
00:06Waymo's self-driving taxis were brought to a standstill across parts of San Francisco
00:11after a major power outage disrupted the city on December 20th,
00:16leaving robo-taxis frozen mid-journey.
00:19Someone's going to set this thing on fire if it doesn't move soon.
00:30The company confirmed it had temporarily suspended ride-hailing services
00:35to prioritise safety and allow emergency crews to operate freely.
00:40The outage, triggered by a fire at a power substation, affected about 130,000 San Fran citizens
00:48before electricity was gradually restored.
00:51The incident raised fresh questions about how autonomous vehicles cope
00:55when city infrastructure fails and whether robo-taxi fleets like Tesla's
01:00better optimise independence from external systems to keep moving when lights go out.
01:07Power out in San Francisco. The Waymo's are crazy.
01:12They are just like they're stopped.
01:16They cannot move. There's like a massive traffic jam caused by them.
01:24From the beginning of the month of expectation we try to do nearly 27 week
01:29we are not able to do that in San Francisco noILL.
