Waymo Resumes Freeway Operations with Software Upgrades for Construction Zones
Waymo is resuming freeway operations across its service area after implementing software updates to improve performance in construction zones, following a two-month pause and 13 reported incidents of robotaxis entering closed highway sections. The move occurs amid increased regulatory scrutiny and a proposed bill for federal safety standards for autonomous vehicles.
Waymo robotaxis are now using freeways in Phoenix with more cities to follow in the coming days.
