-- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has opened an investigation into Avride after the agency received several reports of crashes involving automated vehicles equipped with the Avride automated driving system.
The NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation said each crash involved "the competence of" Avride's ADS system, the report said.
Avride has partnered with Uber Technologies (UBER) in the past, TechCrunch said in a report.
"Avride is aware of the preliminary evaluation opened by NHTSA. We welcome the opportunity to provide the agency with a deeper understanding of our safety protocols and technology," the company said in an email to. "We look forward to a constructive dialogue that supports the continued progress of the autonomous vehicle industry."
