On December 21, 2025, on Polk Street in San Francisco, California, USA, @MaestrosTrades shared a video showing multiple Waymo self-driving cars stalled during a major citywide power outage. In the video, a line of autonomous vehicles sits motionless on darkened streets illuminated only by emergency vehicle lights and the cars’ taillights. The outage, caused by a substation fire that left more than 130,000 customers without electricity, disabled traffic signals and brought autonomous traffic to a complete standstill.
