Autonomous vehicles became stranded at intersections when traffic signals failed, forcing ride-hailing operators to suspend services throughout the Bay Area. Simultaneously, grocery stores, restaurants, and food retailers were forced to discard thousands of dollars in perishable inventory, with business owners reporting catastrophic losses during the critical pre-Christmas retail period.","length":648,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":""Last weekend's San Francisco outage illustrates exactly why we've spent years developing AI-powered energy solutions that eliminate single-point-of-failure scenarios," said Michael D.
