Zoox, Amazon's autonomous vehicle company, halted driverless testing for over a week and issued a software recall after a crash in Las Vegas on April 8. The incident involved an unoccupied robotaxi and a passenger car, leading to concerns that the self-driving software might mispredict vehicle movements, raising crash risks.
