Episode Details

Waymo’s under fire again—this time recalling nearly 4,000 robotaxis after software glitches caused them to ignore freeway construction zones, leading to dangerous near-misses. It’s not the first recall: previous issues included driving into flooded roads, misreading towed vehicles, and failing to detect poles. The NHTSA is overseeing this latest recall, while Waymo voluntarily restricted freeway use and rolled out a fix. The company’s already facing scrutiny over a January incident involving a child near a school and another where a car allegedly ignored a stopped school bus—both prompting recalls. As autonomous driving pushes forward, safety and reliability in unpredictable conditions remain Waymo’s biggest hurdles.
