Waymos in Atlanta and San Antonio Keep Driving Into Flooded Roads

Waymo suspended robotaxi operations in Atlanta after a driverless car drove into floodwater and became stuck.

The move follows a similar pause in San Antonio, where the company issued a recall and software patch aimed at keeping vehicles out of flooded roads.

The incidents highlight ongoing challenges for autonomous vehicles in extreme weather, especially heavy rain and flood detection.

The problems raise safety and reliability concerns as regulators and automakers work to improve how driverless cars respond to flooding.
