Waymo Recalls 3,800 Robotaxis Over ‘Driving into Standing Water’ Issue
Waymo is voluntarily recalling about 3,800 robotaxis due to a software flaw that could cause them to drive into flooded roads. This recall follows incidents of Waymo vehicles stalling on flooded streets and a previous incident where a vehicle was swept into a creek. Waymo is implementing software safeguards and operational restrictions during extreme weather to prevent future occurrences.
