NHTSA opens a recall query on Waymo school-bus software

TechCrunch said NHTSA opened a recall query in a Nov. 6, 2026 filing to assess whether Waymo's software update stopped its robotaxis from passing stopped school buses with flashing red lights. Reuters reported on Nov. 9 that the agency announced the query that Monday, closed the earlier preliminary evaluation, and said the query covers nearly 3,000 vehicles, with most reported incidents coming after the November 2025 remedy. Waymo told both outlets it has received no citations since March 2026 and will respond.
