Waymo Recalls Robotaxis for Flooded Road Software Glitch

Waymo, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary of Alphabet, is initiating a recall affecting thousands of its robotaxis. The recall is prompted by a software defect that could potentially lead the self-driving vehicles to operate on flooded roads. This issue raises concerns about the safety and reliability of autonomous systems in adverse weather conditions. Waymo is working to address this critical flaw to ensure the continued safe deployment of its driverless ride-hailing service and prevent potential accidents or damage to the vehicles.
