Zoox recalled ~270 robotaxis after a Las Vegas collision with a passenger car

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.

Zoox resumed operations after deploying the software update fleet-wide. This was Zoox's second recall of 2025 (the first, ~258 vehicles in March 2025, addressed unexpected hard braking).
