Waymo is recalling its U.S. fleet of robotaxis after one of the autonomous vehicles was swept away when it drove into floodwaters in San Antonio. The voluntary software recall stems from an incident during severe weather April 20, when a Waymo vehicle “encountered an untraversible flooded section of a roadway,” the company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Though the vehicle detected the flooded road, it continued into floodwaters at reduced speed. “We are working to implement additional software safeguards and have put mitigations ​in place, including refining our extreme weather operations during ​periods of intense rain, limiting access to areas where flash flooding ‌might ⁠occur,” Waymo said in a statement. The vehicle swept away was unoccupied ​and there were no injuries, but the incident prompted Waymo to review similar scenarios and issue an interim update to its self-driving software. It also suspended operations in San Antonio, a city prone to flooding and where the April 20 incident was the second recent local instance of a Waymo vehicle struggling with flooding.

LONDON — A man has been charged with harassing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after reports the former Prince Andrew was threatened by a masked man while walking dogs near his home. Alex Jenkinson, 39, is due at Norwich Magistrates Court on Friday to face two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to harass someone or cause alarm or distress. Norfolk Constabulary announced the charges on Thursday night. Police said the suspect was arrested Wednesday evening after a man was reported “behaving in an intimidating manner” near Andrew’s home in eastern England. The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that a man wearing a ski mask ran toward the former royal while shouting abuse. Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, the younger brother of King Charles III, moved to the king’s private Sandringham Estate, about 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of London, after he was evicted from his longtime home near Windsor Castle following revelations about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
