"Waymo Recalls Robotaxis After Dual Pickup Truck Crashes"

Waymo issued a software recall for its robotaxis after two vehicles made contact with the same improperly towed pickup truck in Phoenix, leading to minor vehicle damage but no injuries. The incidents were caused by a software error that incorrectly predicted the movements of the towed vehicle. Waymo developed and deployed a fix for its software to prevent similar incidents in the future. In contrast, rival company Cruise faced a more serious incident in San Francisco, leading to a suspension of its license to operate in California.
