The self-driving taxi company Waymo launched in Los Angeles in November, bringing roughly 100 autonomous vehicles to neighborhoods from Santa Monica to West Hollywood.

The California Public Utilities Commission approved Waymo's autonomous vehicle program in Los Angeles in March 2024. The service was expanded to the public in November. Aside from Los Angeles, the company also has driverless cars in San Francisco and Phoenix, with plans to expand to Austin, Atlanta and Miami.

A Sigalert was issued for several hours Monday morning after what looked like a lake formed on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles. The flooding was first reported on the southbound side of the freeway near 4th Street around 2 a.
