“Before the WAYMO ads receiving the remedies described in this report, in certain instances, Waymo vehicles were involved in collisions with road barriers such as chains, gates and other gates, depending on how the object was detected or how the Waymo ad responded to the detection,” Waymo said in the report.
The NHTSA said conflicts with these types of barriers could increase the risk of injury. Reports show that none of the 16 reported cases caused Waymo to be injured.
