HYUNDAI Ioniq 5 Incident

On December [XXX], 2025 at 7:54 AM, an AVRIDE autonomous vehicle (the "AVRIDE AV") was in a collision in Austin, Texas on [XXX] near [XXX]. The AVRIDE AV was traveling southeastbound in autonomous mode in the center lane on [XXX] when it came to a stop at a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. While the AVRIDE AV was stopped, a tow truck traveling in the right lane began to enter the AVRIDE AV€™s lane of travel. There was sufficient space for the tow truck to move into the lane while the AVRIDE AV remained stopped. When the traffic signal turned green, both vehicles began to proceed slowly into the intersection. The tow truck then came to an abrupt stop while the light remained green. The safety driver of the AVRIDE AV applied the brakes, but due to the sudden stop by the tow truck, the front of the AVRIDE AV made contact with the rear of the tow truck. Both vehicles sustained damage. No injuries were reported.
