A power outage struck San Francisco on Saturday that blacked out about 130,000 customers at its peak, according to Pacific Gas and Electric Company<\/a>, but also caused another problem: stranded Waymo vehicles. Posts all over social media showed the company’s autonomous SUVs sitting still in the streets and causing traffic jams.<\/p>\n

Some people posted videos of Teslas using their FSD feature to navigate the same streets, and Elon Musk tweeted<\/a> that \u00ab\u00a0Tesla Robotaxis were unaffected by the SF power outage.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
