Waymo says it’s gradually adding back freeway routes in Phoenix, with more cities to follow. In May, the company said it was pausing its freeway operations to update software and improve performance around construction and flood zones. Waymo first suspended service in Atlanta after an unoccupied robotaxi stopped in flood water earlier that month. Waymos began using Valley freeways in November 2025. “Waymo’s mission is to be the world’s most trusted driver, and the data shows we are making roads safer in the cities we serve. We are welcoming riders on freeways again after implementing software updates to improve our performance around highway construction zones. We remain focused on operating responsibly to build a driver that communities trust and want on our roads," a spokesperson said in statement. - The Arizona Department of Transportation is rolling out a new feature that allows drivers to add accommodations for communicating to their vehicle or license records. - The Federal Aviation Administration says it received “substantial feedback” from the public about its plans to change flight paths at Valley airports, including Phoenix Sky Harbor, and will delay those plans until next June. - The Hart Mine Road Bridge located near the Arizona-California border collapsed into the river after it was believed to have suffered structural damage from the nearby Island Fire, according to federal officials. No injuries were reported. - A train derailment spilled 15,000 gallons of sodium hydrosulfide near the Naco border crossing into Arizona. - Scott Allison could have taken the shortest route from Las Vegas to Reno. Instead, he drove nearly 50 extra miles through California. The detour wasn't for the scenery. It was for the chargers.
