Products: Robotaxi. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 39.0/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 96th percentile of 89 av trucking companies.
Thirteen entries from 2024 to 2026 document a sustained and escalating pattern: six recalls (up to 332 vehicles), five crash/collision entries including two pedestrian-adjacent injuries in San Francisco, and a cumulative NHTSA log of 123 autonomous-mode accidents. Dominant failure modes are perception/detection failures (smoke-obscured scene, lane-crossing) and low-speed contact incidents (parked cars, doors, e-scooters, motorcyclists), with severity concentrated at 2-3 and no fatalities recorded. The record is a mix of regulator-driven recalls and press-reported collisions, with the recall cadence increasing in 2025-2026 relative to 2024. At index 39.6 and the 95.5th percentile of av-trucking, Zoox ranks near the top of its category, reflecting both incident volume and recall frequency. The trajectory shows recurring software-triggered recalls following operational incidents rather than a single anomaly.
