Waymo Recalls Entire Fleet After Robotaxi Enters Flooded Road

Waymo recalled all 3,791 active robotaxis on May 11 after a software flaw let an unoccupied vehicle drive onto a flooded San Antonio road during storms. The company reported the defect to NHTSA on May 1. All vehicles received an interim software update. The fleet-wide recall suggests the vulnerability lay in core systems—perception or decision-making—rather than isolated components.
