Zoox, the online retailing giant’s robotaxi division, temporarily took 270 of its cars off the road for a software update following the accident, CNBC reported. The crash involved an unoccupied Zoox car and a passenger vehicle, leaving minor damage to both.

There were no injuries, Zoox said.

“The recall surrounds a defect with the vehicle’s automated driving system that could cause it to inaccurately predict the movement of another car, increasing ‘the risk of a crash,’” CNBC said, citing a report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). After receiving the software updates, all of Zoox’s cars have returned to service.
