Amazon Recalls Zoox Robotaxi After It Ignored Crash With Scooter

Amazon’s Zoox promises to revolutionize transportation, but there are still a number of bugs that need to be worked out. That’s clear today following a close call in San Francisco on May 8.

 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an unoccupied robotaxi was stopped when it was struck by an e-scooterist. The person fell to the ground directly next to the vehicle, which then started moving forward in autonomous mode.
