Waymo is recalling 1,212 of its driverless vehicles due to a software defect that resulted in minor crashes with roadside obstacles. The recall follows scrutiny of self-driving technology, especially after an investigation by the NHTSA into previous incidents with Waymo vehicles. Although the recall was prompted by the defects, Waymo maintains that its vehicles are statistically safer than human-operated ones. They've implemented a software update to address the issue, which has already been distributed across the affected fleet, which operates in several major cities.
Waymo's recall of over 1,200 vehicles is prompted by minor crashes linked to a software defect, but the firm insists their vehicles are safer than human drivers.
Despite recalling vehicles due to software issues, Waymo's data indicates that its driverless technology results in significantly fewer accidents compared to traditional vehicles, underscoring potential for safety improvements.
