According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, the affected cars include those with the company’s fifth Automated Driving System — the same software used by Waymos serving the public in the Phoenix metro region. A spokesperson for the company told KJZZ that there are “no disruptions” to vehicles or services in Phoenix.
