Waymo Halts Freeway Operations, Stops Service in Some Cities Without Clearly Communicating What's Up

▤ Summary

Waymo temporarily stopped freeway driving in several major markets and paused service in some southern cities after vehicles entered flood conditions. Riders often learned about the changes only through altered routes or app notices, not through clear company communication. The article argues that Waymo has become less transparent about routine service disruptions even though it has built a reputation for safety transparency. It also notes that the company has not clearly explained where suspensions still apply or when freeway service will return.
