At least all of the drowned cars have been empty so far. Just wait until someone dies in one of these incidents it may cost them enough to free us from Waymo forever.

"Waymo told Engadget that a local storm had been so intense that flooding had occurred before the National Weather Service could issue a warning or alert"

Could that be because of Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service budget?

To be fair, some humans have a similar problem.

I'm guessing that they're routing to flooded streets because of the lack of traffic.
