The triggering incident took place on April 20, when an unoccupied Waymo robotaxi operating on a 40 mph highway approached a lane submerged in water. Despite its onboard sensors registering the flooding as potentially impassable, the vehicle slowed and continued through anyway. Reuters identified the location as San Antonio, Texas, where local reports noted the company briefly suspended service the following day amid heavy rainfall.
