Waymo recalls and updates robotaxi software after two cars crashed into the same towed truck
Waymo is issuing its first-ever recall after two of its autonomous vehicles crashed into the same towed pickup truck in December.
Waymo is voluntarily recalling the software that powers its robotaxi fleet after two vehicles crashed into the same towed pickup truck in Phoenix, Arizona, in December. He also said Waymo’s ride-hailing service — which is live in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin — “is not and has not been interrupted by this update.” The company declined to share video of the crashes with TechCrunch. The recall could increase public pressure on Waymo, as cities, citizens and government agencies are scrutinizing the promise of autonomous vehicle fleets.
