<p><strong>上週末，Waymo 運營的無人駕駛出租車在舊金山發生重大停電，導致交通癱瘓，乘客被困。該公司週二宣佈，將更新其自動化軟件，以更好地應對未來類似情況。</strong></p>
<p>12 月 20 日，Waymo 車輛在城市各個交叉口停滯不前，當時由於 PG&amp;E 公司變電站發生火災，交通信號燈熄滅。社交媒體上發佈的視頻顯示，幾輛車在街道中間靜止不動，開啓了危險警示燈，導致後方交通擁堵。</p>
<p>Waymo Driver 系統將熄滅的交通信號燈視為四向停牌來處理。但根據該公司週二發佈的聲明，有時車輛會 “請求確認檢查，以確保做出最安全的選擇”。在停電期間，這些車輛成功處理了 7000 個停止工作的交通信號。然而，廣泛的停電 “導致這些請求的集中激增”，公司解釋道。</p>
<p>請求的激增減緩了 Waymo 對其被困車輛的響應速度。該公司在市政官員要求司機避免上路後停止了服務。</p>
<h3>大規模停電擾亂假期週末，Waymo 車輛被遺棄</h3>
<p>停電在高峰期影響了大約 130,000 名客户。它關閉了商店，並在一年中最繁忙的購物週末期間擾亂了公共交通。許多 Waymo 車輛，作為 Alphabet Inc.的機器人出租車業務的一部分，捲入了混亂之中。</p>
<p>30 歲的米歇爾·裏瓦（Michele Riva）在週六晚上乘坐 Waymo 回家時，燈光熄滅。儘管人們在街上走動，他的車仍然在城市較少繁忙的地方行駛。但當他距離目的地僅有一分鐘時，車輛在一個 “非常繁忙的交叉口” 停下，交通信號燈熄滅。他沒有收到任何警告。</p>
<p>“我在 Waymo 裏待了幾分鐘，只是想看看，” 從事人工智能工程的裏瓦告訴彭博社。“問題是，剛開始時，有很多人穿過街道，因為沒有交通信號燈。所以我相信 Waymo 根本不知道該怎麼辦。”</p>
<p>裏瓦在車內被困時嘗試聯繫客户支持，持續了大約三分鐘。他在等待時間過長後放棄了，因為服務被其他乘客的電話淹沒。他下車步行回家，剩下的幾條街道。</p>
<p>PG&amp;E 將停電歸咎於變電站火災，週六晚上開始恢復供電。到週日早上，公用事業公司表示已為 110,000 名客户恢復了電力，但仍有 21,000 人處於停電狀態。</p>
<p>週日，Waymo 應用程序向部分客户顯示服務在灣區暫停的消息。至少有七個城市受到影響。</p>
<h3>緊急軟件更新正在進行中</h3>
<p>“我們的團隊正在與市政官員密切協調，努力工作，我們希望儘快恢復服務，” Waymo 發言人在週日表示。</p>
<p>裏瓦在週日嘗試預訂另一輛 Waymo，但在看到通知之前。</p>
<p>“歸根結底，我知道對其他司機來説這是一個不愉快的情況，但我相信這完全是出於安全考慮——我認為寧可安全也不要出事，” 裏瓦説。“我希望他們在未來能考慮到這一點，因為這確實是一個很好的服務。”</p>
<p>Waymo 表示，目前正在努力為其軟件添加更多關於區域停電的 “背景” 信息。這將幫助車輛 “更果斷地穿越這些交叉口”。該公司還與舊金山市市長丹尼爾·盧裏（Daniel Lurie）合作制定應急響應計劃，並更新急救人員的培訓。</p>
