The cars don't come home, they are owned by their maker, and it's all over-the-air software updates for all robotaxi recalls

Waymo recalled software for more than 1,200 robotaxis because some cars were collinding into barriers, a NHTSA report said.

Waymo has issued a voluntary recall of more than 1,200 self-driving vehicles following a series of low-speed collisions involving roadside barriers such as gates and chains. The company said the underlying issue was resolved through a software update rolled out to the fleet in late 2024 and emphasized that current operations are unaffected.
