Waymos in San Francisco caused chaos during mass power outage

Waymos stopped in the middle of intersections during a mass power outage in San Francisco over the weekend, causing the robotaxi company to suspend service for a day. Social media users posted videos of Waymos on Saturday with their hazard lights blinking, stopped right before entering an intersection with a darkened traffic light, or in many cases, stopped in the intersection while cars swerved around them.
