Waymo Said It Fixed Its School Bus Problem. The US Government Says It Didn't Work

Waymo Said It Fixed Its School Bus Problem. The US Government Says It Didn't Work Last year, Waymo recalled its software after several of its autonomous cars drove around stopped buses. Now the feds want to know more. The US government is examining whether Waymo's recall of software involved with a series of school bus passing incidents last fall actually fixed the safety issue. The formal investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will determine whether the company's supposed software fix succeeded in preventing its robotaxis from improperly passing stopped school buses with red lights on and their stop arms extended--indicators that the buses were picking up and dropping off students.
