Amazon-owned Zoox has voluntarily recalled 105 self-driving taxis to fix a software problem that caused the vehicles to fail to detect heavy smoke and drive directly into it. Zoox notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the recall on July 8 and said it became aware of the smoke detection issue after an incident last month. The company said an empty Zoox driverless taxi drove into a smoke-filled active fire rescue scene in Las Vegas last month. The recall comes after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) called on self-driving car developers to address issues involving first responders.
