Waymo is apparently playing bumper cars as the government has revealed collisions with stationary and semi-stationary objects as well as parked vehicles
The NHTSA is looking into the performance of Waymo ’s fifth-generation autonomous driving system. Vehicles have been involved in over a dozen incidents including multiple collisions. Waymo has become the latest autonomous driving firm to find itself in the crosshairs of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The NHTSA added their understanding is the autonomous driving system was “engaged throughout” these incidents or “disengaged in the moments just before an incident occurred.” However, the events vary widely, so the investigation could be difficult. Regardless, the Office of Defects Investigation has opened a preliminary evaluation to investigate the performance of the fifth-generation automated driving system.
