Overview
- About 130,000 PG&E customers lost power on Saturday, affecting roughly one-third of San Francisco.
- City officials linked the outage to a substation fire, and authorities are investigating the cause.
- Hundreds of Waymo vehicles stopped and blocked intersections, prompting a city-requested pause that the company lifted after service resumed on Sunday.
- By Sunday evening most electricity had returned, with updates citing roughly 14,000 customers still without power as restoration continued.
- Waymo said widespread signal outages and degraded connectivity caused cars to remain stopped longer to verify intersections, and no injuries tied to the stoppages were reported.
