Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out!

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout.

So condescending, so wrong on the facts! ACC Commissioner Lopez doesn't know or care about any of the details of Project Blue, how it moved through our local government, or even about its water use. He tried to use his dais to demean and embarrass his constituents, and ended up embarrassing himself.
