Robotaxi firm Zoox has issued a software recall after one of its vehicles drove into smoke near a fire scene in Las Vegas.
About 100 vehicles from the Amazon-owned company were potentially affected by the software issue, which was discovered after the June 20 incident, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall report submitted Thursday.
On that day, an unoccupied Zoox vehicle encountered heavy smoke, obscuring a fire scene that was not blocked off with traffic cones.
