Waymo recalls 3,871 self-driving taxis due to software issues.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Thursday that Waymo is recalling 3871 driverless taxis due to a software issue that could potentially cause the vehicles to enter closed highway construction zones and continue driving at high speeds. This recall affects some driverless taxis equipped with Waymo's fifth-generation autonomous driving system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that Waymo has modified the vehicles' operation scope, limiting their driving on highways. Waymo will provide free updates to the ADS software to detect the vehicle's location and avoid entering construction zones.
