Popular robotaxi and self-driving car company Waymo has recalled 1,200 of its driverless electric vehicles after reporting crashes with certain types of road barriers.

Waymo filed a report with NHTSA (the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) saying it is aware of 16 different car collisions between 2022 and 2024, primarily with chains, gates and similar barriers. The company says it provides more than 250,000 paid taxi trips every week, and plans to expand this significantly in 2025 and 2026.

Originally, Waymo provided free software updates and repairs for affected vehicles, but has followed this with a full recall of Waymo cars with 5th Generation Automated Driving Systems and software versions released before Nov. 7, 2024.

Waymo, a car-focused division of Google’s Alphabet parent company, currently offers robotaxi services in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, with plans to expand into Atlanta with an Uber partnership and eventually move into Washington, DC, Miami and Tokyo in the coming years. 

The car company also announced plans in early 2025 to launch manually driven vehicle tests in 10 cities this year.

Waymo did not immediately respond to request for comment.
