WASHINGTON, June 18 — Waymo is recalling 3,871 robotaxis in the US after identifying a software issue that could likely cause the vehicles to enter a closed freeway construction zone and continue driving at speed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today.
The recall pertains to certain Fifth Generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS) in robotaxis.
The auto safety regulator said Waymo has modified the scope of vehicle operations to restrict freeway driving.
Waymo will update the ADS software to detect where the vehicle is, to avoid entering construction zones, free of charge, NHTSA said. — Reuters
