Waymo ne apne 3,800 robotaxis ko voluntarily recall kiya hai. Yeh recall ek software issue ki wajah se hua hai jo autonomous cars ko flooded roads mein ghusne de sakta hai.
CNBC ke mutabiq, Waymo ne apne robotaxis mein software issues fix karne ke liye voluntary recall issue kiya. Yeh issues cars ko flooded roadways mein drive karne de sakte hain.
Kya hua tha incident mein?
Yeh recall 20 April ko San Antonio, Texas mein huye ek incident ke baad aaya hai. Us din ek empty Waymo car ne flooded road mein entry kar li thi. AOL ke mutabiq, Waymo apne self-driving cars mein ek software issue ki wajah se recall kar raha hai jo vehicles ko flooded roads mein drive karne de sakta hai.
Aur bhi incidents huye
Incidents sirf San Antonio tak limited nahi the. CNBC ki report ke mutabiq, Austin, Texas aur doosri jagahon par bhi cameras ne Waymo vehicles ko flooded roads par drive karte hue ya heavy rain mein traffic mein stall hote hue capture kiya.
Waymo kya kar raha hai?
Waymo ne kuch fixes already laga diye hain. CNBC ke mutabiq, company "additional software safeguards" par bhi kaam kar rahi hai.
Hamaari Baat: Yeh recall kyun important hai?
Seedha baat karein toh, autonomous cars ka future safety par depend karta hai. Jab ek empty robotaxi flooded road mein ghus jaaye, toh yeh ek serious safety concern hai. Waymo ne voluntarily recall kiya hai, jo ek responsible step hai. Lekin sawaal yeh hai ki software testing mein yeh loophole kaise reh gaya? Heavy rain aur flooded roads koi nayi cheez nahi hain. Autonomous cars ko har weather condition ke liye ready hona chahiye. Waymo ka "additional software safeguards" par kaam karna accha hai, lekin customers aur regulators dono ki nazar ab in safeguards par hogi.
