The Amazon Zoox’s self-direction taxi subsidiary released the second memory of the volunteer software in just a month after a collision with an electronic scooter pedestrian in San Francisco.
In early May, a person riding a electric scooter collided into an unworthy zoox robotax that stopped as he returned to give to a junction. The knight suffered minor injuries after falling to the ground near the robotax and did not accept medical help, Zoox said in a blog post.
“The Zoox vehicle stopped at the time of contact. The e-Successor fell directly near the vehicle. The robotax then started moving and stopped after the turn is over, but did not make further contact with the electronic scooter,” the company wrote.
The memory will focus on treating the vehicle’s perception tracking system and will affect 270 vehicles, Zoox said in a statement.
As part of the withdrawal, the company will handle part within the automated steering system that can push it to misunderstand the movement of other nearby vehicles, including “the risk of a collision”.
The company also noted that it presented a voluntary report of software attraction to the National Traffic Safety Administration on the highway on Thursday.
On the other hand, NHTSA confirmed that it had received the report and recommends “road users be careful near vehicles because drivers can incorrectly anticipate the route of a cyclist or a scooter knight or come to an unexpected stop”.
The May clash happened just two weeks after Zoox had already announced a voluntary software reminder aimed at addressing a small collision in Las Vegas that also stemmed from a misunderstanding of yield.
In May 2024, the self-direction taxis were investigated by NHTSA after two back clashes in the light of the day. Prior to that, NHTSA opened an inquiry in March 2023 looking at the self-certification of a Zoox robotax without traditional direction controls.
Amazon first bought the beginning of technology in 2020 for $ 1.2 billion, including an additional $ 100 million to maintain a majority of 900-plus employees. The rated value of the company peaked at $ 3.2 billion in 2018.
