华盛顿，5月8日（路透社）——美国国家公路交通安全管理局周五表示，正对初创公司Avride自动驾驶汽车涉及的一系列撞车事故展开调查，这些事故引发了人们对其车辆性能的质疑。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局表示，这些车辆的行为可能表现出过度激进且能力不足，这“可能也构成交通安全违规行为”。部分撞车事故造成了财产损失，还有一起报告称有人员受轻伤。

美国国家公路交通安全管理局称，这些车辆曾变道撞上其他车辆，且未能避让道路上的车辆或障碍物，从而引发撞车事故。
该局指出，Avride的部分自动驾驶汽车在优步（UBER.N）平台上运营，自去年12月起在达拉斯提供乘客服务，多数事故都发生在当地。美国国家公路交通安全管理局提及了16起值得关注的撞车事故。
Avride表示，欢迎“有机会向该机构更深入地介绍我们的安全规程和技术”。该公司补充称，在所有事故中“车辆都由车上经过培训的安全操作员监督”。在大多数情况下，车辆都以低速行驶，许多事故是由其他道路使用者的行为引发的。

该公司称，已“实施针对性的技术和运营整改措施，以解决我们从每起上报事故中得出的问题”。
采用现代汽车Ioniq 5平台的Avride上个月表示，其车队拥有200辆汽车，且每月还会新增数十辆。
近年来，美国国家公路交通安全管理局已对自动驾驶汽车和高级驾驶辅助系统展开了多起调查。
该局称，对撞车事故视频的初步审查显示，存在车辆变道驶入其他车辆行驶路径、未为前方车流减速或停车、撞上部分遮挡车道的静止障碍物等情况。
此次调查将评估潜在问题和风险对乘客及其他道路使用者的波及范围和严重程度，包括技术、运营因素及安全保障措施。
优步和现代汽车（005380.KS）未立即回应置评请求。

WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is opening an investigation into a series of crashes involving startup Avride’s autonomous vehicles that raised questions about their performance.
NHTSA said the vehicles’ behavior may indicate excessive assertiveness and insufficient capability, which “may also constitute traffic safety violations”. Some of the crashes resulted in property damage and one reported minor injury.

NHTSA said the vehicles had executed lane changes into other vehicles and failed to avoid vehicles or objects in the road, resulting in crashes.
NHTSA noted that Avride operates some of its AVs on Uber’s (UBER.N) platform and has offered passenger services in Dallas since December, where many of the incidents occurred. NHTSA cited 16 crashes of concern.
Avride said it welcomes “the opportunity to provide the agency with a deeper understanding of our safety protocols and technology.” It added that in all cases “the vehicle was under the supervision of a trained safety operator on board. In most cases, the vehicle was traveling at low speeds and many of the events were precipitated by the actions of other road users.”

The company said it has “implemented targeted technical and operational mitigations to address our findings from each reported incidents.”
Avride, which uses Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 platform, said last month it has a fleet of 200 vehicles and is adding dozens more each month.
NHTSA has opened several investigations into self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems in recent years.
The agency said a preliminary review of crash videos showed instances of vehicles changing lanes into the path of others, failing to slow or stop for traffic ahead, and striking stationary objects partially blocking lanes.
The investigation will assess the scope and severity of potential problems and risks to passengers and other road users, including technical and operational factors and safeguards.
Uber and Hyundai (005380.KS) did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
