Waymo Announces Second Recall Following Robotaxi Collision With Telephone Pole
Waymo has voluntarily issued a software recall to all 672 of its Jaguar I-Pace robotaxis after one of them collided with a telephone pole.
This is Waymo’s second recall.
NHTSA confirmed to TechCrunch that it has received Waymo’s recall documents and is processing them for publication on its website.
The accident that prompted Waymo’s second recall happened on May 21 when a Waymo vehicle in Phoenix, driving without a human safety operator, collided with a telephone pole in an alley during a low speed pullover maneuver.
The Waymo vehicle slowed down to pull over and struck a pole at a speed of 8 miles per hour.
