Waymo Recall: Driverless Cars Struggle in Construction Zones

Waymo’s driverless cars are under fire again—this time for dangerously ignoring construction zones on freeways, risking collisions as they barrel through hazards at speed. Nearly 4,000 vehicles are affected in this fourth recall since 2024, following earlier incidents where cars drove past closure signs and into restricted areas without incident. Waymo has paused all freeway operations, rolled out a voluntary recall, and is restricting freeway access until a fix is ready—though a permanent solution is still in development. While their newest vehicles are unaffected, Waymo’s fifth-gen system is the culprit, and the company remains committed to being the most trusted driver, even as it continues to refine its tech.
