The self -driving vehicle unit of Amazon, Zoox, has published a voluntary security recall after one of his autonomous vehicles was involved in a small collision in Las Vegas. The incident, which took place in April 2025, prompted the company to examine and identify a software problem that has an impact on how the robotaxi anticipates the path of another vehicle.
The call back, which affects 270 vehicles built with Zoox, was officially submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). According to Zoox, the problem has already been treated via a software update, which was made available from the fleet remote.
The Robotaxis from Zoox, which works like a steering wheel or pedals without driving controls, are part of Amazon's entry into the autonomous living space. According to Zoox's security recall report, the vehicle could not give in to oncoming traffic while making an unprotected left curve, which led to a collision at low speed at a regular passenger car. While damage was low, the event lifted flags about the behavior of the system in complex urban scenarios.
The determination of security and reliability remains key factors for the use of the relatively new autonomous driving technology. Waymo in the ownership of alphabet continues to run the sector in both security and operational scale, with the services in several cities such as Phoenix and San Francisco. But GMS cruise and Ford/VW-von Argo Ai have been forced to give up operations in recent years.
In June 2025, Tesla is also expected to start the robotaxi race with the start of its own service, which uses the FSD software (self-drispiving). While the FSD was very regulatory last year, the safety regulations are expected to be loosening as part of the Trump administration.
Zoox, whom Amazon acquired in 2020, said that he voluntarily published the recall as part of his commitment to security. “It is important that we remain transparent about our processes and the collective decisions that we make,” said the company in an explanation.
