Waymo LLC is recalling approximately 444 vehicles equipped with 5th Generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS) because the software can incorrectly predict how a towed vehicle will move. This software error affected systems with versions released prior to December 20, 2023. Waymo has already updated the software in all affected vehicles to correct the issue.
The automated driving software may fail to accurately track or predict the movement of a vehicle being towed, which increases the likelihood of a collision. All affected vehicles were successfully repaired by January 12, 2024.
Waymo has updated the ADS software for all affected units free of charge.
