Total Recall After Waymo Robot Taxi Crashes Into Pole

A crash into a pole by the Waymo driverless vehicle has prompted a second recall of the entire taxi fleet.

The company is under investigation by NHTSA for over two dozen incidents involving its driverless vehicles, including several “single-party” crashes and possible traffic law violations. Several incidents involved crashes with stationary objects, much like the May 21st crash with the telephone poll. […]

Waymo’s recall was deployed at the company’s depot by its team of engineers, not through an over-the-air software update.

Pole position usually refers to a series of Tesla crashes. Now we can add one Waymo.
