Waymo and Zoox Face Federal Investigation Over Self-Driving Car Incidents

NHTSA probes 22 incidents involving Waymo and two collisions with Zoox vehicles, focusing on traffic law violations and crash avoidance.

Waymo's 5th generation automated driving system is under scrutiny for 17 crashes and five traffic violations.
Reported incidents include collisions with stationary objects and disobedience of traffic control devices.
Videos show Waymo vehicles driving erratically, including in opposing lanes and construction zones.
Zoox vehicles reportedly caused two rear-end collisions with motorcyclists due to sudden braking.
Both companies pledge to cooperate with NHTSA for transparency and safety improvements.
