The incident, which occurred at around 6.00 a.m. Pacific Time, impeded some traffic movement before the cars moved out of the area as the fog began to clear, Waymo said.

“We have software updates planned to improve our fog and parking performance to address such situations in the future,” the company said in a statement to Reuters.

The company’s cars use a system consisting of lidar sensors, cameras and radar sensors to perceive their surroundings.

Last week, General Motors (NYSE:GM)’ robotaxi unit Cruise said it is recalling self-driving software in 300 vehicles after one of its driverless vehicles crashed into the back of a San Francisco bus.
