Overview

• The recall was prompted by a May 8 incident in San Francisco where an unoccupied Zoox robotaxi was struck by an e-scooter rider at an intersection.
• Zoox stated that the robotaxi was stationary at the time of the collision but moved briefly after the scooter rider fell, without further contact.
• The software update aims to enhance the vehicle’s perception system to prevent unintended movement near vulnerable road users like cyclists and scooter riders.
• This is Zoox’s second recall in a month, with a prior recall addressing a Las Vegas crash caused by issues predicting other vehicles' movements.
• Zoox has reported the recall to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and shared collision data and video as part of its ongoing safety efforts.
