Self-driving taxi company recalls software after crashes in Phoenix
A driving technology company voluntarily recalled its self-driving car software after two of its robotaxis hit a towed vehicle in Phoenix at the end of last year.
Waymo, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, recalled the software following an incident on Dec. 11, 2023, in which a self-driving vehicle hit a backward-facing pickup truck “being improperly towed,” according to a blog post published Tuesday. After the initial hit, neither vehicle stopped moving, and a second Waymo car hit the towed truck a few minutes later.
