Waymos in Atlanta and San Antonio keep driving into flooded roads
Waymo has temporarily suspended its autonomous vehicle operations in Atlanta following an incident where one of its vehicles drove into a flooded street and became stuck. This follows a similar suspension in San Antonio the previous week, which was prompted by a Waymo vehicle being swept away by floodwaters. The company is working on software updates to better handle extreme weather conditions, acknowledging that recent storms have presented challenges beyond current warning systems. AI
