This is the best summary I could come up with:

After discussions with NHTSA, Waymo determined that it should file a recall report, which is done when a company makes a safety-related change to vehicles on the road.

“This voluntary recall reflects how seriously we take our responsibility to safely deploy our technology and to transparently communicate with the public,” Waymo wrote in its blog post.

While self-driving cars were have been pushed by the tech industry as potentially safer than human drivers, autonomous vehicles have had repeated incidents involving so-called “edge cases,” or unusual situations.

While edge cases are, by definition, uncommon, with both human and robot drivers logging millions of miles on American roads every day, they occur with some frequency.

In that incident, which occurred in San Francisco a Cruise vehicle struck a pedestrian that had first been hit by another car and then, following the impact, dragged the person across along the road.

Various state and federal agencies found that Cruise had not been forthcoming with information in that incident, including not being clear that the person had been dragged after being hit.
