Waymo is a company that makes cars that can drive themselves, without a person controlling them. They wanted to expand their service and let more people use these self-driving cars in some parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco. But the government agency in charge of allowing this, called the CPUC, said no for now. They are worried about safety because there have been some problems with Waymo's self-driving cars recently.
