Summary
Waymo is recalling nearly 4,000 robotaxis equipped with its fifth-generation Automated Driving System after the vehicles failed to recognize freeway construction zones in Phoenix, Arizona. Six incidents occurred in April 2024 where the robotaxis drove past ramp-closure signs and between cones marking closed lanes. The interim fix restricts freeway driving until a permanent software solution is developed.
