据美国国家公路交通安全管理局发布的召回通知显示，Waymo正在召回近3900辆自动驾驶出租车，因其自动驾驶软件多次未能识别匝道封闭和施工区域，相关事故发生在亚利桑那州和加利福尼亚州。
此次召回是在Waymo复盘了今年4月和5月在凤凰城以及旧金山湾区发生的事故后启动的。这家自动驾驶公司在调查问题期间，已临时限制自动驾驶出租车在高速公路上行驶。
本次召回涉及Waymo所谓的第五代自动驾驶系统（ADS），该系统为其捷豹车队提供动力。美国国家公路交通安全管理局表示，所有被召回车辆均被认为存在该软件缺陷。
召回通知中写道：“在某些情况下，自动驾驶车辆可能会驶入高速公路施工区域并高速行驶，原因是其对避让其他高速公路危险的优先级设置不当，和/或未能识别施工区域。”
Alphabet旗下子公司Waymo于去年扩大了高速公路自动驾驶功能，将该功能添加到旧金山、凤凰城和洛杉矶的车辆中。
通知显示，此类事故在凤凰城共有6起，当时Waymo的自动驾驶出租车未能识别匝道封闭标志，驶入了高速公路施工区域。今年5月，旧金山地区另有7辆Waymo车辆驶入正在施工的高速公路车道，在相邻车道用于封闭区域的路锥之间行驶。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局表示：“在高速公路施工区域高速行驶会增加碰撞风险。”
今年5月的一起事故中，埃利奥特·斯莱德告诉哥伦比亚广播公司旧金山频道，他和未婚妻当时正乘坐Waymo车辆从加利福尼亚州圣马特奥前往旧金山的家中，车辆却加速驶过施工区域并遭到警方追截。
“我们快到合并路段时，Waymo车开始失控，因为所有车道都在合并，”斯莱德说道。“一条车道没了，另一条车道天知道去哪了。路上到处都是车。”
斯莱德说他当时担心他们无法平安度过这段行程。
“路上有施工标志，”他补充道。“警示灯亮着，远处有警察，结果它还加速了。那时我看着我的未婚妻，心想我们完蛋了。就是现在了。我们会死在这里，就在这辆Waymo车里。”
这辆自动驾驶出租车最终从高速公路驶入了一处居民区。斯莱德表示，Waymo给了他三次免费乘车机会，每次价值最高40美元，但他不确定自己是否会使用这些福利。

Waymo recalls thousands of robotaxis after some vehicles entered freeway construction zones

Waymo is recalling nearly 3,900 robotaxis after their self-driving software repeatedly failed to recognize ramp closures and construction zones in incidents in Arizona and California, according to a recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall comes after Waymo reviewed incidents that occurred in April and May in Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay Area. The autonomous driving company temporarily restricted the robotaxis from driving on the freeway while it investigated the issue.
The recall impacts Waymo’s so-called 5th Generation Automated Driving System (ADS), which powers its fleet of Jaguar vehicles. The NHTSA said all of the recalled vehicles are believed to have the software defect.
“Under certain circumstances, the autonomous vehicle may enter and drive at speed in freeway construction zones due to inappropriately prioritizing the avoidance of other freeway hazards and/or failing to recognize the construction zone,” the recall notice states.
Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, expanded freeway driving last year, adding the capability to its vehicles in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
The incidents included six in Phoenix, where Waymo robotaxis failed to recognize ramp-closure signs and drove into freeway construction zones. In May, another seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco area, driving between cones marking closures in adjacent lanes, according to the notice.
“Driving at speed in a freeway construction zone increases the potential for collisions,” NHTSA said.
In one May incident, Elliot Slade told CBS San Francisco that he and his fiancée were in a Waymo vehicle traveling from San Mateo, California, to their San Francisco home when the car sped through a construction zone and was chased by police.
“The Waymo started freaking out as we got closer to the merge cause the lanes were kind of all merging,” Slade said. “One lane was gone, another lane was, who knows where it was. Cars were all over the place going in.”
Slade said he worried that they wouldn’t survive the trip.
“There were construction signs,” he added. “There were lights going on. Police in the distance, and it sped up. That’s when I looked at my fiancée, we’re done. This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”
The robotaxi eventually veered from the highway into a residential neighborhood. Slade said Waymo gave him three free rides, each worth up to $40, but he wasn’t sure he would use them.
