Waymo LLC is recalling 672 units of its 5th Generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS) due to a software error that may prevent the vehicle from avoiding poles or similar objects. The recall affects software versions released before May 29, 2024, and map software released before June 4, 2024. This defect was addressed through a software update provided by Waymo at no cost to owners.
The software system may fail to identify and navigate around stationary objects like poles, significantly increasing the likelihood of a collision with these objects while the automated driving system is engaged.
