ODI opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate Zoox's Automated Driving System performance after two rear-end crashes involving a Zoox-powered Toyota Highlander and motorcycles.
The investigation will assess Zoox's behavior in various scenarios, including collisions, interactions in crosswalks, and similar rear-end crash situations.
NHTSA's scrutiny on self-driving technology, with recent investigations on Tesla's software recall and Ford's BlueCruise fatal crashes, indicates a cautious approach towards autonomous features.
Findings publication might take time, considering the lengthy duration of past probes like Tesla's two-year investigation involving multiple car models.
