Analyst brief
Thirteen entries from 2024 to 2026 document a sustained and escalating pattern: six recalls (up to 332 vehicles), five crash/collision entries including two pedestrian-adjacent injuries in San Francisco, and a cumulative NHTSA log of 123 autonomous-mode accidents. Dominant failure modes are perception/detection failures (smoke-obscured scene, lane-crossing) and low-speed contact incidents (parked cars, doors, e-scooters, motorcyclists), with severity concentrated at 2-3 and no fatalities recorded. The record is a mix of regulator-driven recalls and press-reported collisions, with the recall cadence increasing in 2025-2026 relative to 2024. Zoox's index of 71.2 ranks 4 of 15 companies in AV trucking with incident history. The trajectory shows recurring software-triggered recalls following operational incidents rather than a single anomaly.
