Waymo is recalling nearly 3,800 robotaxis after the company says some vehicles could enter flooded roads during extreme weather. 😳
The recall comes after a Waymo vehicle reportedly drove into standing water in San Antonio during heavy rain earlier this year.
Waymo says it’s now updating software safeguards and adding more weather-related restrictions to prevent similar situations.
The story is getting extra attention in Arizona, where Waymo operates heavily throughout Phoenix and monsoon flooding can quickly make roads dangerous.
Phoenix… would you trust a robotaxi during monsoon season? 🌧️
