Waymo has issued a voluntary recall of more than 1,200 self-driving vehicles following a series of low-speed collisions involving roadside barriers such as gates and chains. The company said the underlying issue was resolved through a software update rolled out to the fleet in late 2024 and emphasized that current operations are unaffected.

Waymo recalled software for more than 1,200 robotaxis because some cars were collinding into barriers, a NHTSA report said.
