Amazon-owned Zoox has announced a voluntary software recall for 270 of its robotaxis following a collision with a passenger car in Las Vegas. The incident, which occurred in April, prompted Zoox to temporarily pause its driverless vehicle operations for a review. After identifying the root cause of the issue, Zoox implemented a software update across all its vehicles, including its robotaxi and test fleet. The company has since resumed normal operations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was informed of the incident, and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
