00:02The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a new investigation into 2,895
00:09Waymo self-driving vehicles over continued traffic violations involving school buses,
00:15according to Reuters. The regulator will determine whether a software update issued
00:19under a December 2025 recall failed to prevent the vehicles from passing school buses with
00:25flashing red lights or extended stop arms. Most incidents occurred after Waymo said it had
00:31completed the software update in November. The company recalled over 3,000 vehicles last December
00:37following reports of robo-taxis violating school bus traffic laws. Schools in Austin, Texas documented
00:4319 violations, while Atlanta schools recorded six. Separately, NHTSA opened an investigation in
00:51January after a Waymo vehicle struck a child near a California elementary school.
