Waymo recalls 3,800 robotaxis

Self-driving car company Waymo has issued a voluntary software recall for approximately 3,800 of its robotaxis.

The move follows incidents where vehicles entered flooded roadways, potentially leading to a loss of control.

Waymo's leadership maintains that its full-stack approach will ultimately win the self-driving race despite the setback.

The recall is being handled via an over-the-air software update to improve the vehicles' ability to detect and avoid deep water.
