Waymo LLC has recalled approximately 3,067 of its 5th Generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS) that were using software versions released before November 5, 2025. The software in these systems may fail to recognize or properly respond to a stopped school bus, causing the vehicle to pass the bus even while its red lights are flashing or its stop arm is extended. Waymo has already deployed a software update to all affected vehicles, and records indicate that all repairs were completed by November 17, 2025.
The software defect allows the automated vehicle to pass a stopped school bus when it should stop, significantly increasing the risk of a collision with children or other pedestrians boarding or exiting the bus.
