Waymo has temporarily suspended its driverless taxi service in six US cities—Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Nashville, and Atlanta—due to concerns that its cars might drive into flooded roads. This action follows a directive from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after Waymo discovered a software flaw that could allow taxis to enter standing water, posing safety risks. The issue came to light after an unoccupied taxi drove into a flooded road during heavy rain in San Antonio. Although Waymo initially planned to fix the software without service interruptions, recent flooding and videos showing cars stopped on flooded roads prompted the pause. The company expects to resume operations soon after improving the software and ensuring safer service in heavy rain conditions.
