The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a recall query into Waymo's self-driving cars, following reports that the vehicles continue to illegally pass school buses with flashing red lights and extended stop arms. The investigation will assess the effectiveness of a software update Waymo issued in December 2025, which was intended to address the issue. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) will determine if the update was adequate, as most reported incidents occurred after its deployment. Waymo has stated that it has made significant improvements to vehicle behavior around school buses and has not received any citations since March 2026.
