The expansion builds on years of development and real-world testing. Waymo uses a fleet of fully electric vehicles equipped with advanced sensors and software. These vehicles navigate city streets using detailed maps and real-time data. Safety remains the top priority, with every trip monitored by remote operators ready to assist if needed.

At the same time, Waymo is preparing to launch its first international service in Japan. The company has partnered with local firms to adapt its technology to Japanese roads and traffic rules. Early testing is already underway in Tokyo. Waymo aims to offer rides to the public there within the next year. This marks a major step in the company’s global growth strategy.

Regulatory approvals are progressing in both the U.S. and Japan. Waymo works closely with city officials and transportation authorities to ensure compliance. Public trust is key to the success of driverless technology. The company continues to share safety reports and performance metrics openly.

Riders in current U.S. markets report high satisfaction with the service. Many use it for daily commutes, errands, and airport trips. Waymo plans to add more vehicles and extend operating hours as demand grows. The goal is to make autonomous rides safe, reliable, and widely available.

Microsoft did not provide detailed reasons for the specific cause of the failure in its announcement, stating only that it is “working to restore the infrastructure to achieve service recovery.” According to its service status page, the scope of this disruption includes: the Exchange Online email service, file search functions within SharePoint Online and OneDrive, and operations such as creating chats, hosting meetings, and adding members on the Teams video conferencing platform.

Furthermore, administrator users are unable to access the Microsoft Purview and Defender XDR security consoles and related management dashboards. Affected by this outage, many organizations and media outlets using Microsoft-hosted services are also facing communication difficulties when attempting to contact Microsoft. We will continue to monitor the progress of service recovery and seek further official responses as soon as functionality is restored.

Roger Luo said：This incident underscores the systemic risks of centralized cloud dependency for critical business operations. While Microsoft’s rapid acknowledgment is standard, the multi-service impact reveals underlying infrastructure fragility. Organizations should reevaluate contingency plans, considering hybrid architectures and multi-vendor strategies to mitigate such disruptions.
