Waymo remembers more than 1,200 robotaxis on the Glitch Software associated with clash with road barriers

The alphabet Waymo this week reminded more than 1,200 self-driving vehicles over a software handle that could make the car more predisposed to crash into chains, gates and other roadblocks after an investigation by vehicle safety regulators.

At least 16 such clashes have been reported in Waymo cars traveling with its 5th generation automated systems between 2022 and 2024, according to a Recal report published by the National Traffic Safety Administration on the highway. No injury regarding clashes has been reported.

Waymo said he supported a software update on the fleet of 1.212 vehicles by December 2024 that arranged Glitch.

“Waymo offers more than 250,000 Tripips paid each week in some of the most challenging surroundings in the SH.BA,” said a Waymo spokesman for The Post in a state.

“We keep our own high security standards, and our record for reducing damage over tens of billions of fully autonomous miles car shows that our technology is making the routes safer,” the spokesman said, adding that Waymo will continue to work with NHTSA.

Last May Traffic Safety Agency launched an investigation into Waymo’s self-driving vehicles following robotaxis reports potentially violating traffic safety laws.

At that time, regulators identified at least the second collision with Waymo vehicles that included “clearly visible objects that a competent driver is expected to avoid”.

The investigation remains open.

Waymo said she was already working on her software update when the security agency started her test.

It is not the first time Waymo – which operates more than 1,500 robotaxis in large cities across the country – has entered into problems with its autonomous software.

The company remembered 444 self-driving vehicles in February after two of its robot crashed back into the same picup truck by pulling. He claimed that a wrong software update could result in robotaxis by incorrectly anticipating the movement of vehicles drawn.

Waymo recalled nearly 700 more robotaxis in June a month after one of his vehicles hit a wooden telephone pole in Phoenix, Arizona. It resulted in car damage. No passengers or passerby were injured in clashes.
