In October 2021, a Pony.ai autonomous vehicle without a human safety driver collided with a lane divider and street sign in Fremont, California.

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.
