The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Tuesday it will review whether startup technology firm Pony.ai has complied with government reporting requirements for driverless crashes. Earlier this month Pony.ai agreed to issue a recall for certain versions of its autonomous driving system software following the October crash in California. The recall, which NHTSA called it, was “the first recall of an automated driving system” involving three vehicles. NHTSA said it will review whether Toyota-backed Pony.AI has complied with reporting requirements “with respect to both the timeliness and accuracy of its reports.”
On October 28, a Pony.ai vehicle operating in autonomous mode, after turning right, collided with a road sign on a median in Fremont, California, prompting California to suspend the company’s driverless test permit in December. was inspired to do. No one was injured in the incident.
Pony.ai said Tuesday that it reported the incident to NHTSA in “a good faith effort to comply with relevant requirements” and said it was “cooperating fully with NHTSA throughout the process.”
Pony.ai said it has updated the software code and repairs have been made for the three affected vehicles.
Pony.ai previously said the crash occurred less than 2.5 seconds after the automatic driving system was turned off. It said that in very rare circumstances, a planning system clinical investigation “may produce a ‘false positive’ indication of geographic location mismatch.”
NHTSA told Pony.ai that it previously believed the software contained a security flaw and requested that the company conduct a recall.
The company said it has updated the software code and that the three affected vehicles have been repaired.
Earlier this month, Pony.ai announced that it had completed a new round of financing that gives it a valuation of $8.5 billion.
California said last year that Pony.ai has 10 Hyundai Motor Kona electric vehicles registered under driverless testing permits.
Suspension safety does not affect Pony.ai’s permit for testing with the driver.
