Amazon’s Zoox recalls 105 robotaxis after one drove into heavy smoke at an active fire scene

Amazon’s Zoox voluntarily recalled software in 105 robotaxis following an incident in Las Vegas on June 20. An unoccupied vehicle entered an active emergency fire scene obscured by heavy smoke, as the area lacked cordoning cones. The vehicle braked hard while attempting to steer away. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, this event led to the recall of the Zoox robotaxi fleet to address safety concerns in specific situational environments.
