Thousands of Waymo's have been recalled... after a flood on Apr 20th, an empty Waymo vehicle entered a flooded road in San Antonio and was swept into a creek

Waymo is recalling thousands of its self-driving cars in the US over a software issue that could allow vehicles to drive into flooded roads.

the voluntary recall affects nearly 3,800 robotaxis that use the company's fifth and sixth-generation automated driving systems.

Waymo is owned by Google's parent company Alphabet

Waymo says it now provides more than 500,000 trips per week across multiple US cities including San Francisco, Austin and Miami.

in April, a mass Apollo Go robotaxi outage in the Chinese city of Wuhan caused at least a hundred self-driving cars to stop mid-traffic.

I haven't heard if they have yet made a software patch to keep the cars from driving past a stopped school bus with the wig wags going  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2025/12/waymo-announced-voluntary-recall-after.html
