Waymo, the self-driving car division of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, issued a recall for its own self-driving car software after two of its cars hit the same truck minutes apart.
Looks like they handled this as well as they could have. I see Waymos every day driving around town, and I love them. It’s so neat to watch cars drive themselves around, and I’ve ridden in them a few times. Excited to see where they go in the future.
I get that it’s fun to hate on self driving cars, but the article makes it sound like the car wasn’t able to anticipate a towed vehicle swinging into its lane when the tow truck made a right turn.
That’s one hell of an edge case, I’m not surprised to hear about minor issues like this. You can hate all you want, but I’ve had Waymos driving around in my city for the past 5 years and I have no problem with them.

Probably into the same truck.
