This action follows two incidents in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2023, where Waymo vehicles collided with the same towed vehicle within minutes of each other. The software failed to predict the towed vehicle's movement, leading to minor collisions. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Waymo has updated the software to prevent future errors, completing updates by January 12, 2024. This swift and transparent response, including communication with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), highlights Waymo's commitment to safety and contrasts with practices of some competitors. Waymo continues to expand its testing and operations, including freeway driving and extending its testing areas around San Francisco and Los Angeles.
