Waymo issues sixth recall, barring 3,871 robotaxis from highways after construction-zone failures

Waymo filed a voluntary NHTSA recall for 3,871 Jaguar robotaxis — its sixth overall — after 13 documented instances of its 5th-generation system driving past closed-lane signs into active freeway construction zones in Phoenix and San Francisco. Six recalls into a planned 20-city expansion, the pattern signals what operating at city scale actually produces: edge cases that surface only at volume, with highway construction zones now joining flooded roads and school-bus behavior as known failure modes under active NHTSA and NTSB scrutiny.
