What's wrong
Waymo LLC (Waymo) is recalling certain 5th Generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS) operating a software version prior to the November 5, 2025 release. The software may cause the vehicle to pass a stopped school bus even when the red lights are flashing and/or stop arm is extended.
Why it matters
Passing a stopped school bus increases risk of crash with a pedestrian.
The fix
Waymo has updated the ADS software, free of charge. All affected vehicles were repaired by November 17, 2025.
