Dallas resident Sarah DelSota shared this video of a Waymo stuck in water at the intersection of Fitzhugh and Capitol Avenues in Dallas. NBC 5 has reached out to Waymo for comment. Several Dallas roads were flooded Friday morning due to thunderstorms. NBC 5 saw video of flooding specif ically around Northwest Highway, as well as Walnut Hill and I-35 in Northwest Dallas. Several drivers were either stranded or attempted to drive through the high water. TXDOT urges drivers to turn around and avoid high water; even a small amount of water can carry people or cars away. Some drivers were seen towing friends and family out of the high water. Waymo recently issued a software recall for nearly 4,000 robotaxis after some drove into freeway construction zones in Arizona and California, raising concerns about the vehicle’s ability to recognize active construction zones. The recall follows 13 known incidents. Six occurred in Phoenix in April, when Waymo vehicles drove into closed freeway construction zones. Seven more incidents took place in San Francisco in May, where robotaxis entered freeway lanes with active construction, according to NHTSA’s report filed Thursday. The company said it is developing a “remedy” to address the problem. In the meantime, it has limited robotaxi availability on freeways. Prior to the restriction, Waymo had been serving public riders on freeways in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Miami. This is not the first recall involving Waymo vehicles. The company previously recalled cars for crashing into a pole in Phoenix in 2024, passing stopped school buses in December 2025, and stopping in floodwater in Atlanta in May. A stopped Waymo also slowed a constable responding to the Oak Cliff apartment explosion last month. Waymo said the vehicle was making a turn to leave the area and was yielding to other traffic when the officer approached. Waymo currently operates a commercial robotaxi service in 11 U.S. markets and offers access to select riders in several cities. The company is also planning its first international expansions later this year, with launches expected in London and Tokyo.
