A curious incident happened with the Waymo robotaxi in San Francisco: the car began to circle endlessly around one point, as if it had fallen into a digital loop. The reasons for the failure have not yet been disclosed, but, fortunately, there were no passengers in the cabin.

Waymo has already responded to the incident by promising to release a software update to avoid similar situations in the future.

This case once again raises questions about the reliability of autonomous transport, especially in difficult urban conditions. Although technology continues to evolve, such failures highlight the need for additional tests and improvements to unmanned control systems.
