Zoox recalls 332 autonomous vehicles over ADS bug flagged by NHTSA

Zoox recalls 332 U.S. autonomous vehicles after NHTSA finds an ADS software flaw that may cross centerlines or stop before oncoming traffic at intersections.

Zoox, Amazon’s autonomous driving division, is recalling 332 vehicles in the United States because of an issue in its Automated Driving System software. According to NHTSA, in certain situations at or near intersections, Zoox vehicles may cross the yellow centerline into oncoming lanes or stop directly in front of approaching traffic—both behaviors that raise the risk of a crash. Intersections are where autonomy is stress-tested most, and missteps there quickly undercut trust.

The recall applies to vehicles running ADS software versions released before December 19. The regulator notes that Zoox has already provided a free software update, so the fix is to install the latest version. A prompt patch is important, but the real proof will be how the refreshed stack handles these edge cases the next time traffic converges at a junction.
