"Waymo Recalls Software After Dual Self-Driving Car Crashes"

Waymo has issued a voluntary recall for software used by their autonomous vehicles after two separate vehicles hit a pickup being improperly towed in Phoenix. The company determined that the vehicles incorrectly predicted the future motion of the towed vehicle due to a persistent orientation mismatch, resulting in minor vehicle damage. A software update has been released to address the issue, reflecting Waymo's commitment to safety and transparency. This incident comes at a challenging time for the autonomous vehicle industry, following a recent incident involving Cruise.
