Two Toyota Highlanders equipped with Zoox's automated self-driving technology braked unexpectedly, causing motorcyclists to rear-end the vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is probing two crashes involving Amazon-owned Zoox autonomous vehicles.

NHTSA said it confirmed that each Zoox car had been operating in autonomous mode when the incidents occurred. Both collisions took place during the daytime and within the operational design limits of Zoox's autonomous system. A Zoox spokesperson told CNBC in a statement that the company is reviewing the request for information from NHTSA, and declined to share further details about the incidents.
