Waymo Pauses Freeway Robotaxi Rides in 4 Cities to Fix Construction Zone Handling
kscottz · x · 2026-11-11
Waymo has suspended freeway rides for its robotaxi service in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Miami — including airport trips — while it improves how vehicles handle construction zones; city rides remain available. The pause follows a recall of over 3,500 vehicles after some got stuck in flooded roads. It also comes after video showed a Waymo speeding past traffic and attempting to go around CHP patrol cars on I-280, plus user reports of a Waymo blasting through cones and swerving around trucks. The company says no single incident triggered the pause.
