Waymo's Driverless Cars Crash Into Each Other, Prompting Voluntary Recall

The Robots Take Over

In a surprising turn of events Waymo's driverless cars couldn't even navigate around a parked towed pickup truck. It's like trying to teach a penguin to fly my friends.

A Tale of Two Collisions

Not one but two robotaxis managed to crash into the same towed vehicle within minutes. It's like watching a real life comedy of errors but with self driving cars.

Minor Damage Major Embarrassment

Thankfully the collisions only resulted in minor vehicle damage and no injuries. But let's face it Waymo's automated driving system needs a bit more practice.

Waymo to the Rescue

Waymo not wanting to look like a bunch of bumbling amateurs quickly filed a voluntary recall notice to address their software's inability to predict the future motion of a towed vehicle. As I always say it's better to be proactive than to wait for disaster to strike.

Rolling Out the Updates

Waymo wasted no time in updating their software making sure to fix the issue when the cars were returned for regular maintenance. No over the air updates here folks! Waymo takes pride in their hands on approach.

From Phoenix to San Francisco and Beyond

Waymo's driverless ride hailing service Waymo One is currently available in Phoenix San Francisco Los Angeles and Austin. They've got quite the fleet with approximately 700 vehicles in total. That's enough to make even the wildebeest migration jealous.
