Board of Supervisors
“The significant disturbance is why I co-sponsored Supervisor Wong’s hearing to hold PG&E accountable. Thank you, Supervisor Wong, for your leadership. However, the situation on our streets during the outage was exacerbated by the large fleet of Waymo autonomous vehicles, which struggled to navigate the dark and uncontrolled streets.”— Bilal Mahmood, Supervisor · Board of Supervisors
