As part of a recall that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on Tuesday, Waymo has updated the software in its fleet of roughly 4,000 vehicles to assist them avoid flooded roads. However, the issue of how its cars act in certain circumstances has not been entirely resolved by the firm. Waymo is still “forming the ultimate remedy for this recall,” according to records made public by the federal safety authority NHTSA. According to the NHTSA, the problem seems to be that Waymo’s robotaxis were slowing but not stopping when they came across flooded roads that they were unable to cross. Both Waymo’s fifth- and sixth-generation autonomous vehicle systems are impacted by robotaxis. According to the regulator, 3,791 vehicles are covered by the recall, providing us with a more accurate picture of the number of vehicles Waymo has on the road in about a dozen American locations.
