The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has concluded its 14-month investigation into Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) self-driving company, Waymo. The investigation was initiated due to a series of minor collisions and unexpected vehicle behavior.
What Happened: The NHTSA decided to close the investigation without taking further action, as reported by Reuters on Friday. The probe was launched in May 2024 following 22 reports of potential traffic safety law violations and “unexpected behavior” by Waymo’s robotaxis, including 17 collisions.
