Waymo 周六晚上在旧金山暂停了其自动驾驶出租车服务,原因是影响约 12 万 PG&E 客户的大范围停电。 许多车辆被看到停在街道和路口,扰乱了交通,照片和视频在网上流传。 Waymo 将大范围停电作为暂停服务的原因,表示团队正在与城市官员合作恢复服务。 自动驾驶出租车中断的原因尚不清楚,但理论包括交通信号灯、蜂窝服务或实时交通数据的丢失——所有这些都受到停电的影响。 尽管遭遇了挫折,Waymo 仍在经历显著增长,最近每周提供 45 万次自动驾驶出租车出行,几乎是春季的两倍。 虽然大部分电力已恢复,但周日早上仍有约 3.5 万客户没有电力。

## Waymo 因断电问题暂停旧金山自动驾驶出租车服务 Waymo 在旧金山暂停了其自动驾驶出租车服务,原因是最近的一次停电导致车辆停滞。该事件引发了对车辆处理紧急情况能力的担忧,有评论员指出,在发生大地震时,它们可能会阻碍紧急救援服务。 讨论的重点在于车辆停止的原因——是由于交通信号灯故障还是蜂窝网络连接中断——以及它们是否应该在紧急情况下运行,从而可能使关键通信网络不堪重负。尽管Waymo 一直因其谨慎的方法而受到赞扬,但批评者质疑为什么它们不能更好地应对这种情况。 有人将其与特斯拉的完全自动驾驶 (FSD) 进行比较,据报道,FSD 将未亮起的路口视为四向停车。一些人认为,Waymo 对其声誉的更高关注可能是其反应更加保守的原因。该公司因在宣布服务暂停之外缺乏透明度而受到批评。

Waymo suspended its robotaxi service in San Francisco on Saturday evening after a massive blackout appeared to leave many of its vehicles stalled on city streets.

Numerous photos and videos posted to social media captured Waymo robotaxis stalled at roads and intersections as human drivers were either stuck behind them or weaved around them.

Waymo said on Saturday that it had temporarily suspended service in the city due to the blackout. Spokesperson Suzanne Philion provided a similar statement to TechCrunch on Sunday morning.

“We have temporarily suspended our ride-hailing services in the San Francisco Bay Area due to the widespread power outage,” Philion said. “Our teams are working diligently and in close coordination with city officials to monitor infrastructure stability, and we are hopeful to bring our services back online soon. We appreciate your patience and will provide further updates as soon as they are available.”

The company did not provide an explanation for why the blackout had such a dramatic effect on its vehicles. One possible culprit: The blackout took down many of the city’s traffic lights. (In fact, with the blackout affecting both lights and Muni mass transit, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie warned residents to stay off the roads unless they needed to travel.)

Others theorized that Waymo might have been affected by an interruption in cell service or traffic data.

The blackout appears to have been caused by a fire at a Pacific Gas & Electric substation in the city. SFGate reports that around 120,000 PG&E customers were affected by the blackout, and while the majority of them had power restored by late Saturday, 35,000 customers were still without power on Sunday morning. PG&E’s website also showed thousands of San Francisco customers still affected at that time.

A letter from Tiger Global Management that leaked earlier this month said Waymo is now providing 450,000 robotaxi rides per week, nearly double the amount that the Alphabet-owned company disclosed in the spring.
