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.

Tesla Reports Fatal Crashes, Then Censors Almost Everything

Guida autonoma, Tesla segnala gli incidenti mortali e poi censura quasi tutto - ClubAlfa.it

Tesla reports thousands of incidents involving its driver-assist systems to NHTSA but censors nearly all details, citing trade secrets. An investigation by Electrek matched uncensored data with police reports to identify fatal crashes where Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was active, including cases of speeding, sudden stops, and left-turn collisions. Despite marketing the software as fully autonomous, Tesla attributes blame to drivers while the systems remain Level 2, requiring constant human supervision.

Tesla Robotaxi Crash Reports Show Contradictions; NHTSA Data Alone Cannot Determine Fault

テスラのロボタクシー事故報告に矛盾、NHTSAデータだけでは過失を判断できず - 財経新聞

Three property-damage-only crashes involving Tesla's robotaxi were reported to NHTSA in June 2026. Tesla's summaries state the autonomous system did not contribute to the collisions, but one report contains conflicting information: the narrative says the vehicle was stopped while the structured data indicates it was backing up. NHTSA's data is based on self-reports and does not constitute a fault determination.
