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. Although no injuries occurred and minor damage was reported, Zoox paused operations to conduct an internal review. Testing resumed with a software update on April 17, and the company still aims to launch its commercial robotaxi service later this year.
