Waymo has issued a recall of 1,200 self-driving vehicles following incidents involving minor collisions with stationary objects like gates and chains. This software update aims to meet safety regulations and was initiated after a preliminary examination by the NHTSA identified seven such incidents occurring from December 2022 to April 2024. Fortunately, none of these collisions resulted in injuries. With 1,500 robotaxis now operational across multiple cities, Waymo is focused on improving safety through continual software updates and collaboration with regulatory bodies like the NHTSA.
