Waymo Faces Possible Historic Recall Over School Bus Violations

The NHTSA has initiated a formal recall query into 2,895 Waymo robotaxis due to software issues that allowed vehicles to ignore stopped school buses. Despite a previous software fix, violations continued post-update. The probe may prompt the largest recall in U.S. autonomous vehicle history, impacting Waymo's expansion plans and Uber's ride availability. Investigations into recent incidents strengthen the case for regulatory action.
