 "notes": "The largest correlated autonomous-fleet failure in the corpus. Hundreds of independently-driving agents share one backend, so a single fault stops them simultaneously — and the failure mode is stopping dead in live traffic, on elevated roads, with passengers who cannot drive the car themselves. Wuhan traffic police confirmed via 122 emergency calls; WIRED reported passengers trapped for more than an hour. Verified quote is the AI Incident Database summary; primary reporting is Chinese-language. Compare the Waymo North Beach and PG&E-outage records for the same shape at smaller scale.
