“Waymo is recalling more than 600 self-driving vehicles after one of them struck a telephone pole in Arizona. The recall includes 672 vehicles, which is the entire fleet. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in its report that last month a driverless Waymo vehicle hit a wooden utility pole in Phoenix, Arizona while it was in an alleyway and trying to perform a low-speed pullover maneuver. … Waymo has completed a software update that improves the automated driving system’s response to poles or pole-like permanent objects. It also provided a map update to include a hard road edge between the pole or pole-like object and the driveable surface.” (06/13/24)
