Summary
Waymo, the self-driving car company owned by Alphabet, has announced a voluntary recall of its self-driving car software. This comes after two incidents in Phoenix, Arizona, where Waymo vehicles crashed into the same towed pickup truck. The recall involves updating the software to better predict the future motion of towed vehicles. Waymo has filed a voluntary recall notice with federal vehicle safety regulators and has completed the software updates. The collisions resulted in minor vehicle damage and no injuries. Waymo operates its driverless ride-hailing service, Waymo One, in several cities and has faced less public criticism compared to other companies in the industry.
