Waymo pauses robotaxi service in 4 cities as cars drive into floods

Waymo temporarily suspended robotaxi service in Atlanta, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas after a vehicle drove into a flooded street in Atlanta.

The company says it has already rolled out a software update and is working on a fix, but service remains paused for now.

The incident underscores a safety gap for autonomous vehicles in severe weather and the operational impact of flood risks on robotaxi fleets.
