i. Amazon’s self-driving unit, Zoox, has agreed to recall 258 vehicles due to issues with its automated driving system that could cause unexpected hard braking. This follows a U.S. investigation into incidents where Zoox vehicles braked abruptly, resulting in two rear-end collisions that injured motorcyclists. The recall affects vehicles with self-driving software versions released before November 5, and Zoox has addressed the issue by updating the software. The company clarified that there have been no new incidents and that it initiated the recall to align with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) position and maintain transparency. Zoox has ramped up testing in recent months and is under heightened scrutiny along with other self-driving vehicle companies.
