5. 🚙 Amazon’s Recalling 332 Zoox Vehicles
Well, this seems like a good reason for a recall. Amazon’s self-driving unit Zoox is recalling 332 vehicles in the U.S. over an Automated Driving Systems software error that may cause the vehicles to cross or stop in front of oncoming traffic. (Reuters)
6. 🇺🇸 U.S. Banned New Foreign-Made Drones and Components
The FCC has added foreign-made drones and their components to its “Covered List,” making them prohibited to import into the U.S. due to posing “an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.” Don’t worry though, the ban doesn’t affect old drones, so you can still continue using devices you’ve already purchased or sell models that were already approved.
