"The voluntary recall of its software affected 332 vehicles, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While there have not been any collisions associated with the issue, Zoox noted in the NHTSA filing that it could increase the risk of a crash. The company provides free rides to the public in its driverless Zoox vehicles in parts of San Francisco and Las Vegas."
"The issue was initially identified on August 26 when a Zoox robotaxi made a wide right turn, crossed partially into the opposing travel lane, and temporarily stopped in front of the oncoming travel lane, according to the NHTSA filing. Zoox monitored its data for additional lane crossings near intersections, ultimately identifying 62 instances between August 26 and December 5. The company said in the filing was in "ongoing conversations with NHTSA about the frequency, severity, and root causes of these occurrences.""
Zoox issued a voluntary software recall affecting 332 autonomous vehicles after identifying maneuvers that caused vehicles to cross center lane lines near intersections or block crosswalks. No collisions were reported, but the behavior could increase crash risk. An initial incident on August 26 involved a wide right turn that crossed partially into an opposing lane and stopped in front of oncoming traffic. Zoox identified 62 similar instances between August 26 and December 5, deployed software updates on November 7 and mid-December, and submitted a voluntary software recall while engaging with NHTSA about frequency, severity, and root causes.
