Waymo faces federal probe for dodgy driving around school buses

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Waymo for its robotaxis allegedly driving past stopped school buses in Austin, Texas. Despite Waymo's software updates to address the issue, incidents persist, with 19 recorded since the school year began. The Austin Independent School District requested Waymo to halt operations during school times, but the company refused. The investigation follows previous scrutiny of Waymo's self-driving cars for erratic driving. Waymo aims to expand into over 20 cities in the coming years.
