Waymo has resumed fully autonomous operations in San Antonio, but is not yet serving riders, the company told SiliconRepublic.com.
Waymo is recalling nearly 3,800 robotaxis from US streets over a software issue that could allow vehicles to drive onto flooded roadways.
The Alphabet-owned autonomous vehicle (AV) manufacturer reported the issue to authorities on 1 May, according to a letter on the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.
“The software may allow the vehicle to slow and then drive into standing water on higher speed roadways,” the letter read.
The company had temporarily suspended operations in San Antonio, Texas after an incident on 20 April where a Waymo drove onto flooded streets in the city. More such incidents had occurred previously, according to various US publications.
