Waymo Recalls 4K Robotaxis Over Construction Glitch
Description
Waymo is recalling nearly 4,000 robotaxis after their software failed to recognize construction zones and road closures, causing dangerous incidents in San Francisco and Phoenix. The NHTSA deemed it a widespread safety issue, forcing Waymo to admit a critical flaw in freeway navigation around roadwork. This major recall underscores that even cutting-edge AI faces real-world challenges—and that self-driving tech still needs rigorous testing before it can be trusted on the streets.
