Zoox, Inc. is recalling 258 Automated Driving Systems (ADS) featuring software versions released before November 5, 2024. The software may cause the vehicle to brake suddenly and sharply when it detects a motorcyclist approaching from behind or a cyclist in a nearby crosswalk. This unexpected braking can increase the risk of a rear-end collision. All affected driverless fleet vehicles were already repaired with an updated software version by November 7, 2024.
The vehicle software may misinterpret the movement of motorcycles and bicycles, causing the vehicle to slam on its brakes without warning. This sudden stop increases the likelihood of a crash with other vehicles sharing the road.
Software update for the Automated Driving System.
Recall affects 258 units in the driverless fleet. All vehicles were repaired by November 7, 2024.
