Avride Robotaxis Probed After 16 Crashes
Description
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigates Avride, Ubers robotaxi partner, following 16 crashes and 1 minor injury. Issues include self-driving tech malfunctions during lane changes, reacting to nearby cars, and avoiding stationary objects. Crashes occurred in Dallas and Austin, Texas, with paying passengers on board. Avride, formerly Nebius, received $375 million from Uber for this project. Despite tech fixes, concerns remain as robotaxis from other companies also face regulatory scrutiny. As autonomous rides expand, safety remains a top priority.
