Summary
But not everything was revealed, particularly details about how it would protect occupants in the vehicle as well as the pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers it will be sharing the road with.To be clear, Zoox is not the only AV company issuing safety reports. These voluntary safety reports, which are included in NHTSA’s Automated Driving Systems VSSA Disclosure Index, are supposed to cover 12 areas, including the vehicle’s design, crash simulation scenarios and benchmarks for testing, as well as protective measures for occupants and other road users.Zoox’s first safety report came out in 2018, which outlined the company’s “prevent and protect” philosophy.
