We might not yet be ready to let robots and machines take over, and a power outage over the weekend in San Francisco was an example of why. šŸš— As The New York Times reports, Waymo's autonomous vehicles started malfunctioning when they didn't have traffic signals to look at. Multiple videos of the robotaxis getting stranded on roads and flashing their hazard lights surfaced on social media during the weekend. In such situations, the vehicles are supposed to coordinate with their remote human operators, but the power outage may have broken wireless signals. #Waymo #AutonomousVehicles #SanFrancisco #Robotaxi #TechFail šŸ“ø: Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images, Waymo Like what you're reading?
