Waymo's self-driving robotaxis caused a traffic jam on a San Francisco freeway, blocking an on-ramp for around 30 minutes. The vehicles got stuck after driving down a closed road, prompting Waymo to dispatch a roadside assistance team to clear the roadway. Waymo is licensed to operate in San Francisco but not on freeways without a human driver. The incident raises safety questions about the viability of Waymo's robotaxi program as it expands operations. Residents in cities where Waymo operates have reported similar incidents of Waymo cars blocking traffic or emergency vehicles.
