Amazon’s Zoox robotaxi unit issues software recall after recent crash

Amazon’s Zoox has issued a software recall for 270 of its robotaxis after a crash in Las Vegas last month, the company said. On April 8, an unoccupied Zoox robotaxi collided with a passenger vehicle. There were no injuries in the crash and only minor damage occurred to both vehicles. “After analysis and rigorous testing, Zoox identified the root cause,” the company said in a blog post. “We issued a software update that was implemented across all Zoox vehicles. All Zoox vehicles on the road today, including our purpose-built robotaxi and test fleet, have the updated software.”
