<p><strong>上周末，Waymo 运营的无人驾驶出租车在旧金山发生重大停电，导致交通瘫痪，乘客被困。该公司周二宣布，将更新其自动化软件，以更好地应对未来类似情况。</strong></p>
<p>12 月 20 日，Waymo 车辆在城市各个交叉口停滞不前，当时由于 PG&amp;E 公司变电站发生火灾，交通信号灯熄灭。社交媒体上发布的视频显示，几辆车在街道中间静止不动，开启了危险警示灯，导致后方交通拥堵。</p>
<p>Waymo Driver 系统将熄灭的交通信号灯视为四向停牌来处理。但根据该公司周二发布的声明，有时车辆会 “请求确认检查，以确保做出最安全的选择”。在停电期间，这些车辆成功处理了 7000 个停止工作的交通信号。然而，广泛的停电 “导致这些请求的集中激增”，公司解释道。</p>
<p>请求的激增减缓了 Waymo 对其被困车辆的响应速度。该公司在市政官员要求司机避免上路后停止了服务。</p>
<h3>大规模停电扰乱假期周末，Waymo 车辆被遗弃</h3>
<p>停电在高峰期影响了大约 130,000 名客户。它关闭了商店，并在一年中最繁忙的购物周末期间扰乱了公共交通。许多 Waymo 车辆，作为 Alphabet Inc.的机器人出租车业务的一部分，卷入了混乱之中。</p>
<p>30 岁的米歇尔·里瓦（Michele Riva）在周六晚上乘坐 Waymo 回家时，灯光熄灭。尽管人们在街上走动，他的车仍然在城市较少繁忙的地方行驶。但当他距离目的地仅有一分钟时，车辆在一个 “非常繁忙的交叉口” 停下，交通信号灯熄灭。他没有收到任何警告。</p>
<p>“我在 Waymo 里待了几分钟，只是想看看，” 从事人工智能工程的里瓦告诉彭博社。“问题是，刚开始时，有很多人穿过街道，因为没有交通信号灯。所以我相信 Waymo 根本不知道该怎么办。”</p>
<p>里瓦在车内被困时尝试联系客户支持，持续了大约三分钟。他在等待时间过长后放弃了，因为服务被其他乘客的电话淹没。他下车步行回家，剩下的几条街道。</p>
<p>PG&amp;E 将停电归咎于变电站火灾，周六晚上开始恢复供电。到周日早上，公用事业公司表示已为 110,000 名客户恢复了电力，但仍有 21,000 人处于停电状态。</p>
<p>周日，Waymo 应用程序向部分客户显示服务在湾区暂停的消息。至少有七个城市受到影响。</p>
<h3>紧急软件更新正在进行中</h3>
<p>“我们的团队正在与市政官员密切协调，努力工作，我们希望尽快恢复服务，” Waymo 发言人在周日表示。</p>
<p>里瓦在周日尝试预订另一辆 Waymo，但在看到通知之前。</p>
<p>“归根结底，我知道对其他司机来说这是一个不愉快的情况，但我相信这完全是出于安全考虑——我认为宁可安全也不要出事，” 里瓦说。“我希望他们在未来能考虑到这一点，因为这确实是一个很好的服务。”</p>
<p>Waymo 表示，目前正在努力为其软件添加更多关于区域停电的 “背景” 信息。这将帮助车辆 “更果断地穿越这些交叉口”。该公司还与旧金山市市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）合作制定应急响应计划，并更新急救人员的培训。</p>
