News Summary

Zoox, an Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle company, has voluntarily initiated a software recall affecting 332 vehicles due to concerns about its autonomous driving system causing lane crossings near intersections or blocking crosswalks. The recall was prompted by data revealing 62 instances of such maneuvers between August 26 and December 5. These vehicles, which provide public rides in San Francisco and Las Vegas, had been operating under this software on public roads from March 13 to December 18. The company has since updated the software to address these issues and is in ongoing discussions with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This recall is part of Zoox’s commitment to transparency and safety in refining their technology.
