The initial probe included 22 incidents, but nine more have been added. These incidents involve Waymo's fifth-generation automated driving system. The NHTSA observed Waymo's self-driving Jaguar I-Pace units disobeying traffic laws and colliding with stationary objects. The investigation aims to determine if the probe needs to be escalated. Waymo must respond to NHTSA's questions by June 11, 2024. The NHTSA noted that these incidents could increase the risk of crashes, property damage, and injury. Waymo was approved to expand its driverless testing in the Bay Area and Los Angeles in March. However, this decision faced protests from five municipalities and organizations. A proposed bill could give local communities more control over the operation of driverless vehicles.
