CNN —Waymo, the self-driving car division of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, issued a recall for its own self-driving car software after two of its vehicles hit the same truck minutes apart.
Minutes apart from one another, two Waymo cars came across the same tow truck that was pulling a pickup truck in Phoenix, Arizona.
The pickup’s front end was partly in a turn lane next to the lane the tow truck was driving in.
After a first Waymo vehicle hit the pickup, the tow truck kept driving.
A few minutes later, a second Waymo vehicle came across the truck and also hit the pickup.
