Avride incidents mostly in Dallas
The majority of incidents took place in Dallas, where Uber started offering rides in Avride robotaxis, with a few more in Austin.
There were cases like an Avride car hitting an open pickup truck door (causing a minor injury) and another failing a lane change into a van, all while safety monitors were on board.
Avride says it has already updated its systems to fix the issues.
This probe highlights how regulators are keeping a close eye on driverless tech as it expands across the US.
