WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Amazon.com's self-driving unit Zoox agreed to recall 270 driverless vehicles after an unoccupied robotaxi was involved in an April 8 crash with a passenger car in Las Vegas.

Zoox said on Tuesday there were no injuries in the crash. The Zoox Automated Driving Systems in certain driving scenarios "may make an inaccurate prediction when another vehicle slowly approaches perpendicularly and stops. In these scenarios, the Zoox vehicle may not be able to avoid a crash."
