Waymo robotaxi caught endlessly circling a roundabout

A video of the endlessly circling Waymo robotaxi has recently been making the rounds on social media. According to TechCrunch, citing a spokesperson from Waymo, the issue has since been resolved via a software update. The company also reassured that no passengers were on board during the unintended “round trip.”

Videos showcasing unusual behaviour by autonomous taxis have become more common over the past year, particularly in San Francisco, which is one of the key testing grounds for autonomous vehicles. Earlier this year, for instance, a woman live-streamed an incident showing Waymo vehicles honking all night while parked near her home in San Francisco.
