The National Road Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on Thursday the closure of the investigation into 258 Zoox vehicles due to a braking problem, after the Amazon Autonomous Vehicle Unit called them to review and update their software.

The transport agency opened the investigation in May after two rear collisions that injured motorcyclists after unexpectedly stop the vehicles.

They close fault research in Zoox after software update

In March, Zoox agreed to call 258 vehicles at review and claimed to have solved the braking problem updating its software, which caused vehicles unexpectedly to stop when cyclists or motorcyclists approached or approximated quickly.

The investigation was closed after the NHTSSA Defect Research Office analyzed Zoox data, demonstrating the resolution, according to the agency.
