On April 20, 2026, an unoccupied Waymo robotaxi entered a flooded road in San Antonio, Texas, during severe weather. No injuries occurred, but the incident prompted Waymo to issue a voluntary recall of up to 3,791 vehicles due to software that could allow the cars to drive onto flooded roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published recall documents, and Waymo stated it is implementing additional software safeguards and has restricted operations in extreme weather. The fix is still under development.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving beta software includes driving profiles, including an 'Assertive' mode that may perform rolling stops, follow cars more closely, and change lanes more frequently. The feature was included in an October 2021 update that was briefly pulled due to issues with left turns. In November 2021, a Tesla using FSD mode was involved in a crash that left the vehicle severely damaged.

In June 2022, a Cruise autonomous vehicle operating in San Francisco attempted an unprotected left turn and braked hard after incorrectly predicting an oncoming car would turn right. The other car continued straight and struck the Cruise vehicle, injuring a Cruise employee and a person in the other car. Cruise subsequently recalled the software on 80 vehicles, temporarily restricted left turns, and issued a software update to improve predictions. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration oversaw the recall.

The Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate false activations of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue vehicles. The system reportedly engages abruptly when no obstruction is present, causing near misses and forcing following drivers to take evasive action. Nissan issued a Technical Service Bulletin to dealers but has not conducted a safety recall. The petition seeks a formal investigation and a determination that the defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety.

Security researchers from Ben Gurion University demonstrated a vulnerability in the Mobileye ADAS system used in a Renault Captur. They used drones to project fake road signs for 100 milliseconds, too quick for human perception but detectable by the system. The attack could trick the car into making unsafe maneuvers, though the system is only Level 0 (advisory). The researchers published their findings in a paper titled 'MobilBye: Attacking ADAS with Camera Spoofing'.

Delphi Automotive initially reported a near-miss between its self-driving Audi Q5 SUV and a Google Lexus RX400h in Palo Alto, California. A Delphi executive claimed Google's car cut off the Delphi vehicle, which took evasive action. However, Delphi later denied the incident, stating the vehicles were a lane width apart and that both cars performed correctly. Google also confirmed the cars behaved appropriately in an ordinary driving scenario.

Researchers from McAfee Labs demonstrated that a two-inch piece of black electrical tape stuck on a 35 mph speed limit sign can cause the Traffic Aware Cruise Control in older Tesla Model S and X vehicles to misread the sign as 85 mph and automatically accelerate. The vulnerability affects vehicles using the MobilEye EyeQ3 camera system (Hardware Pack 1). The driver can override by braking. Tesla and MobilEye were informed but did not commit to fixing the issue.

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University demonstrated that Tesla's Autopilot could be tricked into stopping for a split-second phantom stop sign displayed on a digital billboard. The system falsely detected the depthless object and applied the brakes in the middle of the road. The researchers disclosed their findings to Tesla and Mobileye. No actual accident occurred during the test.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into Tesla's Autopilot system after identifying 11 crashes in which Tesla vehicles collided with first responder vehicles. In each incident, the vehicles were confirmed to have Autopilot or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control engaged. Most crashes occurred after dark and involved scene control measures such as lights, flares, and road cones. NHTSA will assess the system's ability to monitor driver engagement and handle emergency scenes.

In April 2018, ViaQuatro installed the Digital Interactive Doors System, developed by AdMobilize, on the São Paulo metro's yellow line. The system used cameras to detect passengers' faces and claimed to infer their emotion, age, and gender in order to target advertisements. The Brazilian Institute of Consumer Protection (IDEC) filed a public civil action alleging that the system violated consumer and data protection laws by processing biometric data without consent and making pseudoscientific and discriminatory inferences. A judge ordered the cameras removed in August 2018, and the case is pending a final ruling.

A study by researchers from Georgia Tech found that facial recognition systems used in autonomous cars are up to 12% less accurate at detecting pedestrians with darker skin tones. The bias stems from a lack of diverse training data in the BDD100K database. The researchers warn that this could lead to higher accident rates for people with darker skin if not addressed.
