The power outage probably knocked out the infra those operators needed to control the cars.

True but the comment I replied to mentions a different case where a Waymo got stuck for half an hour at a parade.

"the infra" is cell phone data coverage though. Which was probably congested by all the city residents using theirs instead of their wifi which was down. Would be fascinating to see just how much Internet traffic flows changed during the outage.
