A spokesperson for Waymo says its autonomous vehicle service in the Valley won’t be impacted by a recall of its entire fleet.
Last week, Waymo announced a recall of more than 3,700 vehicles to address a software defect that caused some to drive into flooded roadways in San Antonio following recent severe storms.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, the affected cars include those with the company’s fifth Automated Driving System — the same software used by Waymos serving the public in the Phoenix metro region.
A spokesperson for the company told KJZZ that there are “no disruptions” to vehicles or services in Phoenix.
Waymo also says its working to “implement additional software safeguards” and addressing extreme weather conditions.
