Incident Abstract & Audit Findings

On April 8, 2025, an unoccupied Zoox purpose-built robotaxi collided with a passenger car in Las Vegas. No injuries occurred and damage to both vehicles was minor. Zoox paused all driverless operations for over a week, then issued a voluntary software recall covering approximately 270 vehicles, after determining its automated driving system could inaccurately predict another vehicle's movement and increase crash risk.
