Leo reports that Waymo issued its sixth recall — this time removing nearly 4,000 robotaxis from highways — after 13 documented instances of vehicles driving through lights, barricades, and barriers into closed construction zones. Six incidents occurred in Phoenix in April; seven in San Francisco in May. This is far from Waymo's first recall: previous ones addressed flooded road behavior, illegal maneuvers near school buses, and low-speed collisions with chains and gates. Owen notes that Waymo is now testing in London. Despite the recalls, Waymo maintains it has driven more than 170 million autonomous miles with a 13x reduction in serious injury crashes versus human drivers — a claim the panel largely credits, noting that human drivers are terrible.
