Waymo to issue voluntary software recall after self-driving cars illegally pass school buses
Waymo announced it will file a voluntary software recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after reports that its self-driving cars illegally passed stopped school buses. The recall will address the autonomous driving software that governs vehicle behavior around school buses displaying stop signs and flashing lights. Waymo will submit required documentation to NHTSA, identify all affected vehicles, and deploy an over-the-air software update to correct the issue. The company will monitor performance after the update and cooperate with federal and local authorities during the recall process.
