NHTSA Investigates Avride for Self-Driving Crashes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into Avride, a self-driving technology company and partner of Uber, following reports of 16 crashes and one minor injury. The crashes are attributed to issues with Avride's autonomous driving system, including lane changes and responses to other vehicles and stationary objects. Avride, a subsidiary of Nebius (formerly Yandex NV), has stated it has implemented mitigations and that incident frequency has declined relative to mileage.
