Waymo says San Francisco service has resumed after one-hour pause
Waymo 表示旧金山服务在暂停一小时后已恢复
Waymo says robotaxi service has resumed after it made “temporary adjustments” in San Francisco amidst a power outage that appears to have affected around 7,000 PG&E customers in the city. Waymo 表示，在旧金山发生停电事故（据称影响了该市约 7,000 名太平洋天然气与电力公司 PG&E 的用户）期间，公司在做出“临时调整”后，现已恢复自动驾驶出租车服务。
According to a screenshot posted on social media, Waymo told SF customers that service was “temporarily paused” and that “freeway routes are unavailable.” 根据社交媒体上发布的一张截图显示，Waymo 曾告知旧金山用户服务已“暂时暂停”，且“高速公路路线不可用”。
When TechCrunch reached out to the Alphabet-owned company for comment, a spokesperson said in a statement, “We are making temporary adjustments to our service while we monitor local conditions. We know riders depend on us, and we will return to normal operations as soon as possible.” 当 TechCrunch 向这家隶属于 Alphabet 的公司寻求置评时，一位发言人在声明中表示：“在监测当地情况的同时，我们正在对服务进行临时调整。我们深知乘客对我们的依赖，我们将尽快恢复正常运营。”
Following the initial publication of this article, a Waymo spokesperson added that the company “decided to pause service for approx. one hour to assess the scale of the power outage affecting a large portion of San Francisco and coordinate with local officials.” 在本文初次发布后，Waymo 发言人补充称，公司“决定暂停服务约一小时，以评估影响旧金山大部分地区的停电规模，并与当地官员进行协调。”
Power outages have affected Waymo service in the past, for example when a number of Waymo vehicles stalled on city streets during a blackout in December, and when a similar incident paralyzed traffic during a Golden Gate Bridge fireworks show on the Fourth of July. 停电此前也曾影响过 Waymo 的服务，例如去年 12 月停电期间，多辆 Waymo 车辆在城市街道上抛锚；以及 7 月 4 日金门大桥烟花表演期间，类似事件曾导致交通瘫痪。
As a result, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has called for tougher state regulations to “adequately address how autonomous vehicles operate during major incidents, planned or not.” 因此，旧金山市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）呼吁制定更严格的州法规，以“妥善解决自动驾驶车辆在重大事件（无论是否计划内）期间的运行方式问题”。
