According to Zoox's report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, certain versions of its automated system could cause unexpected hard braking.

"The recalled software is no longer in use, and no Zoox vehicles on the road operate with this software today," said Zoox's Scott Coriell in an email to ABC7 News.

The Foster City-based company has not publicly disclosed the size of its fleet, but it has increased testing over the past year.
