Waymo Recalls Self-Driving Software After Dual Truck Collisions
TL;DR Summary
Waymo, the self-driving car division of Alphabet, issued a recall for its self-driving car software after two of its vehicles hit the same truck in Phoenix, Arizona. The vehicles incorrectly interpreted the truck's movement, leading to the collisions. Waymo informed authorities, updated its vehicle software, and conducted a voluntary recall. This incident highlights the challenges of autonomous vehicles encountering "edge cases," or unusual situations, and follows a similar incident involving Cruise, General Motors' self-driving subsidiary, which also issued a software recall after a pedestrian was struck.
