Pony.ai Recalls Autonomous Driving Software After California Crash

In October 2021, a Pony.ai autonomous vehicle without a human safety driver collided with a lane divider and street sign in Fremont, California. No injuries occurred, but the incident led the California DMV to suspend Pony.ai's driverless testing permit and prompted an NHTSA inquiry. The agency determined a software defect caused the crash and requested a recall, which Pony.ai issued for three vehicles in March 2022. The company updated its software and repaired the affected vehicles, while the driverless permit remains suspended pending DMV verification.

自動駕駛最大考驗!特斯拉在中國釀車禍美國已發生兩起| 汽車 - 三立新聞

A Tesla Model S in Beijing, China, crashed into a vehicle ahead while Autopilot was engaged; the driver said the system failed to detect a stationary car. Earlier, two Tesla Model X crashes in the U.S.—one in Florida in July and another in Pennsylvania—are under investigation for possible Autopilot involvement. Tesla maintains that no evidence confirms Autopilot was active in the Florida crash and now calls the feature 'automatic assisted driving' instead of 'autonomous driving'.

In April 2022, a TuSimple autonomous semi-trailer truck travelling on I-10 in Tucson, Arizona, suddenly veered left and struck a concrete divider.

No injuries or property damage were reported. Federal regulators, including the FMCSA and NHTSA, have launched investigations into the incident.

Tesla Autopilot crashes into parked police SUV in Laguna Beach

On 29 May 2018, Dave Key's Tesla Model S, operating in Autopilot mode, drifted out of its lane and collided with a parked police SUV in Laguna Beach, California. No one was injured, but the car was written off. The crash was attributed to a known limitation of Tesla's AI, which struggled to distinguish stationary objects from the background. Key, a former software entrepreneur, later bought three more Teslas and used the Full Self-Driving beta.
