NHTSA Investigates Waymo Following Recurrent School Bus Safety Violations
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a new investigation into Alphabet Inc.'s autonomous driving unit, Waymo. The probe follows reports that Waymo's self-driving vehicles continued to violate school bus safety regulations even after the company implemented a software recall specifically designed to rectify these issues. The investigation aims to determine why previous corrective measures failed to prevent further infractions and whether current software updates adequately ensure compliance with traffic laws regarding school buses. This development adds regulatory pressure on Waymo as it continues to scale its autonomous vehicle operations.
