WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday it is seeking more
information in its investigation into Amazon.com's ( AMZN )
self-driving Zoox vehicles due to unexpected braking leading to
two rear-end collisions.
The agency, which opened a probe into the crashes this
month, said it is seeking video of the crashes and documents
from Zoox related to the vehicles.
NHTSA said it "is concerned that vehicles exhibiting
unexpected rapid braking may increase the risk of crash" and
added the "risk is particularly acute to road users behind the
Zoox vehicles who are unable to reasonably anticipate or react
to the unexpected sudden braking."
